Eddie Izzard | Human Rights Month
Join Causecast, Human Rights Action Center, Jack Healey and Aung San Suu Kyi in celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Human Rights Day, December 10, 2008. Human Rights day is celebrated to promote the universal human right, to live and to do so peacefully. This day was declared to raise awareness of human rights and of those who are deprived of these rights. Get involved by signing the petition at OneDayForHumanRights.com which will be presented to Obama and his administration in January, requesting that he give the order to print the declaration in every US passport, setting a precedent that other governments will hopefully adopt. In this video, actor Eddie Izzard campaigns to free Burma.
