INTRODUCTION
A coalition of human rights and social justice student organizations at UCSB The University of California, Santa Barbara Human Rights Board serves as a forum centered on facilitating and amplifying the interaction of students groups – both within UCSB and our greater community. The Board recognizes their mission of inclusivity by creating a forum that encourages, advocates, and promotes respectful and honest communication regarding the education and awareness of basic human rights principles. This includes, but is not limited to issues of age, class, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, religion, race, ability, size, sex, and sexuality. The main charge of the board is to promote open education and awareness through events, forums and educational campaigns. The driving force behind this initiative is twofold: That ignorance is the primary root of human rights abuses, prejudice and intolerance and when collaborating together we are capable of so much more. The strength of Human Rights Board is to provide a space where folks from diverse identities, communities, issues etc. can come together and think critically about the way we organize, network, and collaborate. The strength of HRB is in the collective and how we can break traditional modes of organizing and grow as a campus and community.
