🌐 NEW Perspective
#AI is reshaping warfare, #surveillance, work, creativity—and even the environments and communities that power these technologies.
So how do we make sure technological advancement isn't at the expense of #HumanRights?

How would a new, more ✨ holistic ✨ definition of #security impact the #HumanRights community? 🌍
Security isn’t just about physical safety—it’s about mental, economic, & environmental well-being too.

Around the 🌍, girls disproportionately experience violations of #HumanRights—barriers to #education and #healthcare, #GBV, discrimination, #childmarriage, & more.
This #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, we stand with girls in claiming their rights.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, & #MentalHealth is a #HumanRight
At NT, we believe that caring for ourselves is part of the work:
🕊️ Rest is resistance
🌱 Self-care is collective care
💪 Sustaining movements starts with sustaining OURSELVES

Our Tactical Map is a great tool for students, civically engaged citizens, and anyone who seeks to take #HumanRights action ✨
The TMT can help you visualize the human connections around your issue & map the most successful journey to #change!

📚 During #BannedBooksWeek, we’re revisiting a NT perspective exploring #censorship, #AccessToInformation, and the #RightToRead.
Efforts to restrict access to books restrict whose stories are heard and whose experiences are recognized.

#Rest is not a retreat from the work. It’s what helps us stay in it for the long haul.
Taking care of ourselves is not selfish. It is part of #movementbuilding that can SUSTAIN the work of creating #change. bit.ly/rest2resist
