 Pittsburgh human rights advocates collaborated with other Human Rights Cities to provide documentation and recommendations for this review of the US human rights record (See: [http://wiki.humanrightscities.mayfirst.org/index.php?title=UPR_Cities_Project UPR Cities Project]).

-The analyses and recommendations contained in this report help to promote public awareness and policy responses to our regional human rights conditions and to build political will — i.e., a broad-based political constituency that is vocal and active in support and defense of human rights for all residents. A key goal of the UPR Cities initiative is movement-building to build the political will, skills, and collective momentum to carry out these recommendations and re-orient our community so that human rights are the top priority— not a by-product of economic growth and conventional “development.” We want UPR Report to support the ongoing work by community and grassroots organizations and to broaden our networks of mutual support and cooperation for human rights.
