International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid "pass laws". Proclaiming the Day in 1966, the General Assembly called on the international community to redouble its efforts to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination (resolution 2142 (XXI)).

Poverty of Justice Film Screening and Launch of Dignity Campaign in Southern Alberta
Amnesty members in Lethbridge, Alberta, invite you to join them on January 28 to launch Amnesty's Demand Dignity campaign in Southern Alberta.
Free refreshments will be available at the event, and you'll be able to meet members of local anti-poverty organizations.
There will be a screening of Poverty of Justice, the Demand Dignity campaign film. The documentary was made with three communities who tell their own stories of the human rights abuses that keep them in poverty.
The stories are from Kenya (forced evictions in slums), Peru (maternal mortality in Indigenous communities), and the Lubicon Lake Cree of northern Alberta where massive oil and gas development has almost wiped out the traditional economy and way of life of the Lubicon.
Event details
Date: Thursday January 28, 2010
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Theatre Gallery, Lethbridge Public Library (810 5 Ave S)
If you'd like to join Amnesty's Lethbridge group, please email admin@ailethbridge.com or visit the group's website.
Background on the Demand Dignity campaign
Amnesty International’s new Demand Dignity campaign aims to end global poverty by working to strengthen recognition and protection of the rights of the poor. The campaign will bring to light and address the discrimination, exploitation, neglect, marginalization and human rights violations that cause poverty.
