On #WorldWaterDay, we’re reminded of a powerful truth: the global water crisis is solvable. 💧 As @ProjectMAJI shared in our latest #HumanRightsChat episode, we already KNOW how to bring safe #water to communities. 🎧 Listen to the episode: bit.ly/right2maji

“If we carry on doing what we’re doing… in my lifetime, we’re not solving this problem.” In this #HumanRightsChat, @ProjectMaji founder Sunil Lalvani names a challenge we all face: progress alone isn’t enough. We need #partnership to make change. 🎧 bit.ly/right2maji

What does it cost to help realize the human right to #water? In our newest #HumanRightsChat, @ProjectMAJI founder Sunil Lalvani shares a powerful perspective: “$25 gives lifetime access to a person.” That investment can change everything. 🎧 bit.ly/right2maji

Billions still lack reliable access to safe #water. As we approach #WorldWaterDay💧, our newest episode of #HumanRightsChat explores why water access is about more than infrastructure. It’s about #humanrights. ✨ @ProjectMAJI ✨ 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/right2maji

On March 8, we recognize International Women’s Day. This year and every year, CVT stands with the thousands of women around the world who are survivors of torture. In 2025, 72% of the clients we saw in our clinics outside the U.S. were women. After massive cuts to our U.S. funding, thousands more survivors are without care today. And with more than 117 million people forcibly displaced globally, care for survivors, and for all the women and girls among them, is needed more than ever. #IWD

💧 #Water is a human right. Yet more than 2.1 billion people still lack safe drinking water. In this new tactic, we spotlight a sustainable, community-driven model expanding access across Sub-Saharan Africa: @ProjectMAJI 🔗 Read more: newtactics.org/tactics/closin… #RightToWater

At New Tactics, we focus on how change happens: by examining what works, adapting strategies across contexts, and learning from one another’s experience. ✨ Which new tactic will you try? newtactics.org/find-tactics #HumanRights

#HumanRights are for everyone ❤️ Refugees. Women. Children. Artists. Activists. Journalists. Youth. Indigenous peoples. Immigrants. People with disabilities. The LGBTQ+ community. For all of us. We all deserve what we need to a dignified life. ✨️ newtactics.org

On #HumanRightsChat, @CVTorg experts break down how executive actions have dismantled protections for #refugees & asylum seekers, expanded #detention and #deportation, and revived policies rooted in fear and exclusion. 🎧 Listen now: newtactics.org/conversations/…

Community matters. 💛 In #Minnesota, people are organizing & taking care of one another—training as #LegalObservers, documenting harm & supporting neighbors. We’re inspired by all the ✨new tactics✨ This episode of highlights real solidarity: 🎧 newtactics.org/conversations/…

📍 Sfax, #Tunisia 🇹🇳 We recently led a training on our methodology, in partnership with the Office of the High Commissioner for #HumanRights in Tunisia. Proud to support #HRDs in Tunisia and around the world by creating spaces for shared learning 🌍 newtactics.org/build-your-str…

🎙️#HumanRightsChat What happens when #ICE starts to use the tactics of repressive regimes people already fled? Hear experts from @CVTorg unpack what’s happening in #Minnesota and the real #mentalhealth & #humanrights impacts. 🎧 newtactics.org/conversations/…

The killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis follows weeks of excessive force and other abusive immigration enforcement actions in the city. An independent investigation and Congressional oversight are urgently needed to protect US citizens and immigrants alike.

Honoring the life & legacy of #MLK Jr Setbacks to civil & #HumanRights, deepening #inequality & a global turn toward #authoritarianism— realities that would have deeply troubled #DrKing. Let's make today not only about remembrance, but about responsibility to #BendTheArc 🌎️

It’s easy to lose hope in the face of global setbacks to #HumanRights ⁠ But daily, people around the world—organizers, caregivers and dreamers—remind us that a more just world IS within reach 🌍⁠ ⁠ So we’re asking: what gives YOU hope?⁠ ⁠ Find inspo: newtactics.org/find-tactics

Community-based #LegalObservation is becoming an increasingly used tactic to defend the right to life, liberty & security (UDHR, Art 3). #CitizenPatrols create a visible layer of #accountability that CAN deter abuse & protect #HumanRights. newtactics.org/tactics/monito…

#HumanRights abuses are held in place by systems of relationships that protect those who cause harm. The good news? Every relationship in that system is a place where #CHANGE is possible. ✨️We don’t have to do it all. But we can ALL do something ➡️ tacticalmap.org

Our New Year’s wish is simple: #HumanRights for all. 🌎️ ⁠ ➡️ #Healthcare is a human right.⁠ ➡️ #Housing is a human right.⁠ ➡️ #Safety, #dignity, #equality, #justice—human rights.⁠ ⁠ May this be a year where rights are protected—and expanded—for everyone ✨️

#Change doesn’t happen by accident ✨️ We must be clear about where we’re starting, where we want to go & WHO shapes the space between. #HumanRights work happens through relationships & networks. 💡 Map the human relationships around your issue at tacticalmap.org

In times when voices defending #HumanRights are being silenced, journalists risk everything to ensure the world sees the #truth. A New Tactics trainer explores how reporting from conflict zones is not just #journalism—it’s a humanitarian act. 🔗 More: bit.ly/humanitarianact
