Human Rights Action Center partners with NGO's, musicians, actors, business, students - all who wish to create a unified voice for oppressed people everywhere. Together we speak for victims of hunger, human trafficking, war, oppressive governments, hate, and greed. The message is proclaimed in speeches, the written word, in video, via music, in one on one conversations on the train. It takes every person speaking up every day. Below are a few samples of past work.

A Punk Look At Human Rights
Punk rock has been deeply rooted in human rights politics, from its earliest days in England through its modern American incarnation. This CD compilation of punk music is a tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt, who led the United Nations to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Generations One features a track by the Electric Dog House, a band lead by former Clash singer/song-writer/guitarist Joe Strummer, GreenDay, Bad Brains, and Lagwagon are also featured.
