Vision

They envision a just world where everyone is treated with dignity, everyone’s human needs are met, and everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. They can build this world together by addressing the harms of the past, ensuring people have a meaningful role in the decisions that shape their lives, and sharing resources equitably based on people’s needs.

To realize this vision, Partners for Dignity & Rights supports struggles led by people most impacted by inequality, inequity and injustice. Together they pursue meaningful changes that directly improve people’s lives now, and they lay the groundwork for transformational change by building a movement for human rights.

Mission

In partnership with communities, Partners for Dignity & Rights works to build a broad movement for economic and social rights, including health, housing, education and work with dignity. Based on the principle that fundamental human needs create human rights obligations on the part of the government and private sector, Partners for Dignity & Rights advocates for public policies that guarantee the universal and equitable fulfillment of these rights in the United States.
