Join us for the Tennessee Celebration of International Human Rights Day!

Tennesseans gather each year to celebrate International Human Rights Day. This event acknowledges leaders and honors human rights champions in three categories: Rising Advocate, Outstanding Service, and Lifetime Achievement.

Be a part of this important celebration as we recommit to advancing human rights and unity for all.

A committee of human rights organizations, nonprofits, and advocates, including the Tennessee Human Rights Commission, Metro Human Relations Commission, Tennessee United for Human Rights, the Islamic Center of Nashville, the Church of Scientology and others, work together each year to plan the event.

“Human Rights Day is a day to remember past advances in human rights, to honor those who have made our lives better. It’s also a day to refresh and restore and be inspired for the following year, and a sort of annual reunion of the state’s various agencies and organizations who work daily to make human rights a fact,” says planning committee chair Rev. Brian Fesler, pastor of the Church of Scientology in Nashville. “The day centers around the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and this year we focus on human rights today–what does that even mean now, and how we can recommit ourselves to equality and unity in terms of human rights.”

The Human Rights Day event will take place on December 10, 2024, at 5:30 pm, at First Baptist Church Capitol Hill. Registration is at Eventbrite with tickets at $10 plus Eventbrite’s fee. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A SPONSORED TICKET, PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE ORGANIZER THROUGH THE CONTACT PAGE AT TNUHR.ORG.
