RootsAction is an American initiative founded in 2011 by two longtime progressive advocates and journalists, Norman Solomon and Jeff Cohen to empower people who are committed to economic fairness, equal rights for all, civil liberties, environmental protection and defunding endless wars.
It works to raise awareness to stop the US government funding foreign wars, causing destruction and hatred overseas while failing to meet the needs of the vast majority of people in the United States.
Despite all international laws, religion is still used all over the world to ignite conflicts and violate basic human rights. It is a shocking fact!
I have experienced the problems related to the abuse of religion and I truly believe that the proposed treaty would be the ultimate tool to protect all victims of religious oppression.
BPUR seeks religious freedom in every possible sense of those words. It seeks to release the capacity of religion and the deepest kinds of political liberty we can imagine.
The proposed treaty represents a very unique non-confrontational approach, built on the utmost respect for all religions.
I am very confident that a proposal for a treaty banning the political use of religion will be met by the widest majority of the United Nations members.
This proposed treaty is the only way to build a global consensus to disarm extremism and make the world more tolerant, more fair and more peaceful.
Join our effort to make the world
more tolerant, more fair and more peaceful.
