Hi Friends,
Please join us for Module 3: Climate Justice, Action, and Human Rights: Protecting People and Planet in a Time of Crisis of our 2025-2026 Training As Action Series (TAAS) on Monday, October 13th, 2025 from 7 pm -8:30 pm ET >>Register . This module explores the intersection of climate change, civic engagement, and human rights. It frames climate justice as both an ecological and democratic issue, emphasizing how climate impacts disproportionately affect marginalized communities and how grassroots action can drive systemic change. Participants will examine environmental human rights, the role of youth and frontline communities, and strategies for advocacy and education. We will be joined by Brian Shmaefsky, Ava Kreutziger, and Elizabeth Schwab as our facilitators.
2025-2026 Training As Action Series (TAAS)
Human Rights Educators USA’s annual Training as Action Series (TAAS) is a virtual training series focused on bridging personal and collective action on some of the most critical human rights issues of today. TAAS creates an educational space to connect and collaborate with others in human rights education and training. It also gives participants the skills and information needed to take action on rights issues in their communities.
The 2025–2026 Training as Action Series will center on the theme, “Defending Democracy and Human Rights in a Changing World.” This year’s sessions will explore urgent issues such as misinformation, protest rights, climate justice, and digital surveillance, highlighting how human rights education can equip communities to respond with clarity, courage, and collective action. Those who attend six or more sessions will receive a certificate from HRE USA.
