For in this vastness, deep and wild and free, We find our place, a spark of destiny, A conscious note in creation's grand design, Reflecting wonder, truly, and divine.

The Trump administration's withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council drew headlines, but it has no bearing on the country's legal obligations to uphold globally recognized and long-standing human rights standards. Over recent years, proponents of human rights and international law helped strengthen international monitoring and accountability processes, and this year we have the opportunity to hold our leaders accountable to these globally recognized laws and standards. This panel features local and national human rights leaders offering expertise and insights into how civil society and government actors can use UN tools to support and defend the rights of people in their communities. Find out how your community can build the power of cross-city solidarity! Panelists: Jamil Dakwar, Director, American Civil Liberties Union's Human Rights Program; Danielle Landen, M.A. student in Human Rights Practice, University of Arizona & Intern, Human Rights Cities Alliance; Julio Mateo, Dayton United for Human Rights; Joshua Cooper, Human Rights Cities Alliance; Facilitator: Jackie Smith, Human Rights Cities Alliance & Pittsburgh Human Rights City Alliance

Pete Buttigieg: Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
