Human Rights

The Human Rights Task Force supports the idea that all persons should have equal rights and equal opportunities in their pursuit of happiness.  It is our mission to be advocates for human beings who have those rights infringed upon and/or who are unjustly denied opportunities based upon their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, class, and immigration status.

The Missouri Association for Social Welfare Human Rights Task force works closely with the Missouri Immigrant and Refugee Advocates (MIRA), a statewide coalition working for the rights of Immigrants and Refugees. ReadPDF answers to questions like, "Why can't they just wait their turn?" and "Why can't they just follow the rules like my great-grandparents did?" provided by Joan Suarez, Chair of MIRA.

The talking points below are for bills that MASW and MIRA are following during the 2008 State Legislative Session.

For more information on MIRA contact Jenny Rafanan
