An article worth reading in The Guardian, and a link to the UN Commission on Human Rights:

UN special rapporteur demands inquiry into death of Guatemalan girl held in US

Exclusive: UN monitor calls for independent investigation into fate of Jakelin Caal, seven-year-old who died after crossing border

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/24/jakelin-caal-un-special-rapporteur-demands-inquiry-death?utm_term=RWRpdG9yaWFsX0d1YXJkaWFuVG9kYXlVUy0xODEyMjQ%3D&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayUS&CMP=GTUS_email

From the article I followed a link to http://www.standup4humanrights.org/en/take-action.html where you can get on their mailing list, donate, and  by clicking on the “Add Your Voice” link, celebrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by recording yourself reading an article of the Declaration in any of 144 languages.  Somehow this seems far more meaningful than just clicking a link.  Even if civilization collapses, the recordings of you and tens of thousands of others declaring these rights will survive and be available to posterity.  

When you reach Judgement Day, if you are so awestruck you can hardly speak, I’m confident whichever angel is judging you will have access to your recording.  That alone, I think, will save you from Hell.
