EVERY LIFE IS VALUABLE BECAUSE IT WAS CREATED TO BRING A CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD ™

Ambassador Rivers with El Salvadoran Children

Whether gold is found in Ghana, Sierra Leone, or the United States, its value remains the same. Its location does not determine its value. Humanity has inestimable worth regardless of geographical location and/or national existence. The entire human race is made up of particles of gold equal in value and deserving of honor and a protected life.

Hidden in each individual is potential waiting to be released as contribution to its society, culture, and nation. That potential is dependent on access to education, equal opportunity, and a culture of honor to create an atmosphere for it to flourish. When nations suppress human potential of its citizens by restricting freedoms and denying access to good education, they are impeding the progress of their country by imprisoning the potential contained within their people.

Gold does not appear automatically. It must be mined and excavated. Governments must understand their role in protecting their citizen’s freedoms and put forth effort in all areas to insure the golden potential of its people are being mined and processed into contribution.

When human rights are violated, then the potential of another Bill Gates, scientific breakthrough, medical cure, etc., are terminated and the gold of their contribution will forever remained buried beneath the societal earth of that nation.

Let’s have freedom for all people and have respect for each other’s human rights creating the perpetual cultural atmosphere of honor where everyone can contribute making (our) nation great and giving it a voice in the world.

DR. EVERETT HERSHEY SHARES ON HUMAN RIGHTS AT THE iCHANGE NATIONS™ - HUMAN RIGHTS GLOBAL CONGRESS™ LAUNCH

Dr. Everett Hersey and Amb. Dr. Clyde Rivers

It was a great privilege to be a part of the unveiling of the iChange Nations™ - Human Rights Global Congress™, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I believe that this organization will be one of the most effective teachers of Human Rights in the world today. I say this because I saw the vision, not to promote the rights of one nation, religion, or individual, but to promote the rights of all humans.  

  

I was able to speak on the Human Rights Article 19 of the United Nations, ”Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”

We will not always agree in life, but that does not mean that every individual should not be able to state what he or she believes. The surest way to destroy all the other Human Rights is to not allow someone to speak out when their rights have been violated.

The Human Rights should never be up for a vote of popular opinion. If this happens, you will see the destruction of a freethinking society. It becomes one of tyranny in a very short period of time. As Benjamin Franklin said “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”

The only way to ensure that the rights of all men, women and children are protected is not through the strength of our police force or military, but through the teaching and the practice of living the Golden Rule – “Do not do anything to another that you not want them to do to you.”

Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers, President and Founder of iChange Nations acknowledges the Community Civility Counts Initiative as a message that needs to reach the world. Ambassador Rivers commented, “iChange Nations will carry the message of Community Civility Counts to the nations of the Golden Rule Global Network. We plan to adopt and endorse this movement as one of the frontline plans to help humanity.”

Charles Hughes and Dr. Gordon E. Bradshaw have worked together in the Gary, Indiana Chamber of Commerce to create the Community Civility Counts Initiative (CCC). This initiative is designed to create awareness that we can be better in every area of life. Chuck Hughes is the Executive Director of the Gary Chamber and Dr. Bradshaw is a member of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Public Policy Committee. Chuck Hughes and Dr. Gordon E. Bradshaw are on a mission to help transform communities through positive programs and relationships. They are both retired Chief Officers with local fire departments with a combined 64 years of service and have dedicated their lives to helping communities. Both are members of the 3M Project Global Initiative with Dr. Bradshaw serving as Founder and President. They were both recipients of the iChange Nations Distinguished Leadership Medal and Golden Rule International Ambassador appointments for 2015 at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A few years ago Chuck was impressed to create public awareness of civility, and in March of 2015 created the heading “Community Civility Counts.” The Public Policy Committee met and Dr. Bradshaw developed the logo and tag line: “Together We Win!” The Northwest Indiana Times Newspaper and Media Group partnered with the Chamber to advance the mission and created a Twitter account, Facebook page, web page and sponsored an essay and drawing contest to encourage students and adults alike to get on board. Support for this initiative is growing. The team encourages everyone to feel free to use the logo and slogan for T-shirts, posters and stickers.
