ABOUT US >

The Human Rights Cities Alliance (HRCA) works to build a network of local, national, and international human rights leaders and to support activists and organizers advancing the human rights city organizing framework.

​

The focus of the HRCA and its partners is on North America, and particularly (though not exclusively) the United States, where local human rights activism has been less visible and also less studied.
