You Are The Power
People
Policy
Principle
When local governments violate the Principle of Human Respect, our work begins.
What makes You Are The Power Unique
You Are The Power distinguishes itself with its people>policy>principle approach to advocacy.
Through this approach, we demonstrate the underlying Principle of Human Respect.
First, we focus on the people who are being harmed (and the ones harming them).
Then we encourage people to join us in helping those who are being harmed.
Next, we talk about the policies that allowed this harm to happen.
Finally, we encourage people to join us in demanding necessary changes to policy so that the harm will not occur again.
