Orange Ribbon Campaign for Equality And Liberty
Join our Orange Ribbon Campaign for Equality And Liberty!
Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) will be promoting equality and liberty by the use of orange ribbons. We will encourage individuals to wear orange or to wear orange ribbons for the event as a sign of your support for our universal human rights of equality and liberty.
We are championing causes for women’s rights for equality and challenging Islamic supremacism’s war on women, challenging misogyny, championing causes for those fighting for liberty against totalitarianism, championing causes for racial harmony challenging racial supremacism and hate, and championing causes for equality and liberty for those women, homosexuals, non-Muslims, and Muslims oppressed by Islamic supremacism.
Orange Ribbon for Universal Human Rights - Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)
Our orange ribbon campaign is designed to make the public more aware of the areas that continue to be challenges for our true realization of equality and liberty in America and around the world:
1. Equal Rights for All Women and an End to Misogyny. Our universal human rights for equality and liberty demands equal rights for all women. In America, this demands the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) to ensure full Constitutional equality for all women. The E.R.A. still has not yet been ratified by 15 states:
– Alabama
– Arizona
– Arkansas
– Florida
– Georgia
– Illinois
– Louisiana
– Mississippi
– Missouri
– Nevada
– North Carolina
– Oklahoma
– South Carolina
– Utah
– Virginia
It is past time for American to act on this! We seek to raise public awareness on this essential women’s rights issue, and join organizations seeking to fight the battle for women’s rights. We will raise public awareness about the Facebook website of ERA NOW, which provides individual Facebook sites for individuals seeking to work together getting the E.R.A. approved for the unratified states. We will ask the public to also sign the petition in support of the E.R.A. online.
Regarding misogyny, or the hate and/or contempt of women, we have seen that violence against women around the world continue. We view first and foremost that hate against women should be viewed as a true “hate crime,” and that violence targeting women around the world must no longer be accepted as merely traditional “crime.” This requires a greater acceptance of our Responsibility for Equality And Liberty for all human beings. The hate crime of misogyny is the largest hate crime against humanity; misogynists call for hate, oppression, and violence – literally against half of humanity itself. The continuation of such misogynist hate shows how far we have yet to go in obtaining human equality and liberty.
2. Liberty for Those Oppressed by Totalitarianism. We have just passed the 20th anniversary since Communist China’s brutal repression of the Tiananmen Square protests for democracy, and we continue to see Communist China, Communist North Korea, and Communist Vietnam continuing to oppress over 1 billion human beings every day. We defy such totalitarianism and we defend the mutuality of universal human rights and dignity for all of our fellow human beings. We cannot be responsible for equality and liberty and ignore the thousands of forced labor camps in Communist China, the forced abortions in Communist China, the trafficking in human bodies parts in Communist China; we cannot ignore the 1 billion in China who continue to be forced to live under Communist oppression that denies their liberty, and that imprisons those who seek to exercise freedom of conscience. We cannot ignore Communist North Korea’s own concentration camps, where two U.S. journalists have recently been sentenced to be imprisoned. We cannot ignore that Communist North Korea has starved to death 2 to 3 million of its own people. We cannot ignore Communist Vietnam’s continuing efforts to oppress those who seek democracy and freedom. Unlike some political leaders, those of us responsible for equality and liberty must make our universal human rights A PRIORITY – and that means challenging those who would deny such liberty through totalitarian hate of our fellow human beings.
3. Challenging the Resurgence of Racial Supremacism. While America and the world has progressed in pushing back the blight of racial supremacism, it has recently begun to grow once again. We have seen the growth of up over 900 hate groups in America alone. We have seen racial supremacist and Neo-Nazi murders continue in America’s capital and around the nation. We have seen racial supremacist and Neo-Nazi plots to murder hundreds of black Americans and Barack Obama. As a people responsible for equality and liberty, we must stand against this racial supremacist hate and violence throughout America and the world.
4. Challenging the Ideology of Islamic Supremacism’s War on Women, Homosexuals, Non-Muslims, and Other Muslims. It is impossible to honestly ignore the serious global problem of the ideology of Islamic supremacism and its threat to those who refuse to accept it. We see a regular series of attacks by Islamic supremacists on women by oppression, by so-called “honor killings” and stonings, and by treating women as less than human beings. Islamic supremacism constitutes an institutionalized misogynist ideology against women as shown by a continuous war on women in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and around the world – where hate and violence against women is legitimized by Islamic supremacist authorities. We see a war against homosexuals by Islamic supremacists who seek to have homosexuals imprisoned, oppressed, beaten, and murdered in the most gruesome and vicious ways, including so-called “honor killings” against homosexuals as well, including public calls in the West for the “stoning” of homosexuals. We see a regular series of attacks against non-Muslims – denying their human rights, seeking their oppression, calling for violence against them, and killing them. Moreover, we also see a consistent effort by Islamic supremacists even to deny the human rights of fellow Muslim sects around the world. As a people responsible for equality and liberty, we cannot ignore when the human rights of women, of homosexuals, of non-Muslims, and of Muslims are oppressed by Islamic supremacists whose ideology defies the very universal human right of human equality.
Where Our Universal Human Rights Apply...
5. Why All of These Issues of Equality And Liberty Are Interrelated
An assault on human rights and human dignity anywhere – is an assault everywhere. An attack on women in one place is an attack on women everywhere. Those anti-freedom ideologies that attack human rights in one place – are attacking human rights everywhere, including your human rights. An attack on one race is an attack on your race. Those supremacists who say that some people, because of their gender, their religion, or their conscience, do not deserve the universal human right of equality – deny such equality for all people everywhere.
That is what UNIVERSAL human rights are all about. The very universality of this issue – makes every one of these struggles for human rights – the SAME struggle. They are not segmented struggles by geography, race, ethnicity, gender, etc. They are all the same struggle, because they are all the same universal human rights.
As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
Therefore, our support for human equality and liberty is not limited to only these categories above, but is part of our support for universal human rights for all humanity. In this public awareness event, Responsible for Equality And Liberty seeks to make the public aware of these four major challenges to human equality and liberty today. We don’t suggest that these are the only challenges to our universal human rights, but these are major global challenges that are literally life and death issues for our fellow human beings.
We challenge each of those aspects that defy equality and liberty, not merely as random violence, not merely as aspects of the world that we would like to change – but as INSTITUTIONALIZED HATE that consciously and deliberately stands AGAINST the universal human rights of equality and liberty.
