Rights Action is not all global justice and equality bluster and activism.
The main aspect of our work is getting funds into the hands of community based organizations and non-government organizations that design and carry out their own environment-defense, community development and human rights projects.
To date in 2007, we have channeled over US$400,000 to the organizations and projects listed below.
TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION: for the on-going work of these community-based organizations, make your tax-deductible donation payable to "Rights Action"
