Becoming an NGO

When we discuss what our goal is as the Action Campaign group, the most difficult obstacle we face is taking out information and making it viable - more or less, creating change by educating our peers on what is really happening. The rights that are outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights gives a clear line as to what is acceptable and what is not, despite state sovereignty. In an ever shrinking global economy, the line must be finely toed. Simmons writes emphatically that NGO's face less opposition today, with the advent of the world wide web and the quick exchange of information, than it ever has before. This seems to us not a coicidence, but a chance to create change in a world that desperately seeks a unified effort to create a society that values and appreciates human rights with disregard to the monetary value of a human. It is more prevalent now than ever that bringing awareness to the detestable violation of human rights can no longer be ignored by those of us living in 'wealthy' societies with the full access to the tools to create change.
