Dear
John,
Please join with me to celebrate Human Rights Day. Together, we can
empower people with the tools, knowledge, and resources they can use
to improve their lives.
Your gift today will help some of the most oppressed and vulnerable
individuals in the world to elect their own leaders, voice opinions
without fear, gain access to justice, and remove so many entrenched
barriers that prevent them from living in peace.
YOUR GIFT WILL HELP PEOPLE LIKE ELISABETH

After her family's land was seized by a mining company in
the mineral-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo, Elisabeth Banza
Mwemena was forced to make and sell charcoal to survive. She and her
neighbors had no legal recourse and nowhere to turn until The Carter
Center stepped in to help. Now, she and others in her community have
been compensated for their land, and local human rights organizations
have learned proven methods for exposing and combating exploitation.
The contribution you make today will enable us to:
* Support a global network of Carter Center Human Right Defenders
who rely on us for in-person and online forums where they can
share best practices and for the international publicity and
attention that can buffer them from violent retaliation.
* Help establish or strengthen government protections for human
rights in more than 25 countries, including Colombia, Palestine,
Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the
Congo.
* Continue our groundbreaking efforts on behalf of women and
girls, whose human rights too often are violated as part of
cultural "tradition" or misunderstood religious
interpretations. The involvement of religious leaders we enlist
is key to correcting these injustices.
* Sustain our work in monitoring elections around the world and
our landmark efforts after those elections. That's when
access to public information and a fair justice system are
essential to ensuring that democracies can truly thrive.
Human rights, along with the sense of justice and feeling of
self-worth they bring to people, are the "seeds of peace"
the world needs so badly. That's why The Center Carter fights so
hard to advance these rights and why I'm so grateful for your
generous support of this vital work.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
Co-Founder and Trustee
The Carter Center
