Dear Students with Disabilities Association Members,

Welcome to our new group! Thank you all so much for joining. I would like to invite you all to an awesome opportunity to attend a consultation on the United States' human rights record as part of the government's preparation of a national report for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council. Please look below for more information. There will be a session on disability rights and I thought it would be great if members from our group wanted to attend together. Please email me if you are interested and we can set up a place to meet before.

I hope you can attend and I look forward to working with you. Please email me if you have any questions, suggestions, concerns etc and I will keep you posted regarding our first official meeting.

Cheers,

Katie Robert

Please consider attending this amazing opportunity:
On Friday, March 26, 2010 from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, the University of
San Francisco will host a consultation on the United States' human
rights record as part of the government's preparation of a national
report for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights
Council .

This is a once-in-every 4 years review and the U.S. is only hosting
these consultations in four U.S. cities. Not only are we lucky enough
to have San Francisco be a host-city for the UPR, but our own
University of San Francisco is providing the meeting forum.

Representatives of the U.S. Department of State and other
federal agencies will hear from a broad range of NGOs and stakeholders
about US human rights issues.

Students are invited to attend for free!
