 ===Human Rights don't "trickle down" They ''RISE UP''!===
 ''' ''What do we want?'' Policymakers that put people over profits!'''
-We want a '''People-Centered Human Rights''' that guarantees human rights for all people and that engages people in the process of developing policies and programs that will achieve real human rights. This requires real changes in our political strategies. For too long, human rights have been treated as a by-product of pro-growth policies. Policymakers have prioritized the voices of businesses, assuming that when they succeed human rights will automatically improve. We see all around us that this is not the case. If we truly value human rights, we need policies that make achieving these rights top priority. (See [[Frequently Asked Questions]] for more details)

 =='''About Pittsburgh Human Rights City Alliance'''==
-Organizers and activists in Pittsburgh are part of a global movement of activists in cities around the world working to bring diverse groups together to raise consciousness and change policies in ways that center the needs and dignity of ''all'' people in our region. We invite individuals and groups to join our work to envision what it means to be a "human rights city" and to build our collective power to realize that vision. Together, we will press the mayor and other public officials to make good on the promises our City Council made in 2011 to make Pittsburgh a Human Rights City [https://pittsburgh.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=874003&GUID=EB31A893-F2F4-41DC-94FB-DAF1CB2DB0A2&Options=&Search= (Click here to see the Proclamation)]. Allegheny County also passed a Human Rights County measure, and we will work to make sure this is implemented in policies throughout the region. This will require residents' involvement to monitor human rights practices and to press for changes where they are needed.

 '''We are not seeking to build yet another human rights-oriented group in Pittsburgh.''' Rather, this is a loose alliance of folks working together to move our city in a direction that maximizes the well-being of all residents and our communities. We help unite residents in support of the human rights work happening around our city and region and to build connections with national and global human rights movements.
