Transforming Communities Through Intersectional Human Rights Organizing

About the Organization for Human Rights and Democracy

The Organization for Human Rights and Democracy (OHRD) engages in multi-issue, grassroots, radical, intersectional human rights organizing to transform communities and the world using Metro-Atlanta as the model. We are guided by the lived experiences, the activism, and the knowledge of Black feminists and women of color. We prioritize working class people of color and the conditions they experience to build movements and an institution for change.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
