Interest in a human rights group? [View all]

Hello Activist Headquarters,

Given the amount of other topics that are discussed in GD, I have noticed that threads on human rights generally fall fairly quickly to the bottom and get very few replies (most notably the ones on North Korea). Maybe there are only a limited amount of people who are truly interested in discussing this, so I propose starting a human rights group.

Specifically I'm looking to discuss human rights issues that don't get much notice to provide information about them in the hope of finding more core activists to help spread the word about them.

My goal is to find at least 20-25 members to be able to justify having this new group.

If this is something you would be interested in, please chime in and also recommend the thread.

Thanks,

David
