Physicians for Human Rights is thrilled to invite you to: Physicians for Human Rights National Conference *Health and Human Rights in 2010*

Physicians, nurses and public health specialists in the U.S. and abroad face a daunting task: building, and often rebuilding, health systems that are accessible to all; fighting infectious pandemics like HIV/AIDS; preventing and treating disease; providing humanitarian relief to people facing natural or man-made disasters; and more.

The last 20 years have shown the world that brilliant bio-medical advances cannot alone bring health to the world's poorest people. Medicine must go hand-in-hand with human rights to eliminate health disparities and ensure a healthy population.

First Anniversary Celebration and New Member Meeting

MetroWest Peace Action formed a year ago this month as a coalition of suburban groups working for pece and justice.  Through information sharing, moving vigils and combined energies we have, I hoped,  raised the level of discussion and exposure and met some wonderful new partners.

On Feb. 20th we will meet to review the past year and plan for the future.  At the same time we would like to encourage people to come and say hello and perhaps join us as we work nonviolently for a better world.
