#Türkiye: authorities must protect freedoms of expression, assembly and association and cease pressure on #HumanRightsDefenders, NGOs, journalists and lawyers.

All actors should refrain from using rhetoric that undermines #humanrights and incites hatred.👇

R to @hkdc_us: On #LabourDay in #HongKong, remember union leaders like #CarolNg #WinnieYu & #LeeCheukYan are imprisoned & @HongKongCTU & many pro-democracy unions have been forced to close. The basic #HumanRight of #FreedomOfAssociation has ceased to exist. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1653035351835910146#m

A quotation from Child, Lydia Marie:

«««««
In the first place, an unjust law exists in this Commonwealth [of Massachusetts], by which marriages between persons of different color is pronounced illegal.

Hong Kong White Collar (Administration and Clerical) Connect Union has been deregistered by HK govt—the 15th labor union & the 85th civil society org overall closed due to state repression since start of 2021. The regime has crushed #FreedomOfAssociation https://hongkongfp.com/2023/02/17/hong-kong-govt-deregisters-pro-democracy-union-that-called-for-protest-ahead-of-security-law/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1626535671119609859#m

#Cambodia: “The Interior Ministry said it would take legal action against the Cambodian Independent Teachers’ Association…if it failed to submit a report on its 2022 financial activity by February. The warning came after the…union announced…a 10-day march from Phnom Penh to…[five] provinces… to raise attention to issues of injustice….” | CamboJA https://cambojanews.com/interior-ministry-promises-legal-action-for-teachers-union-if-they-submit-financial-reports-late/ #FreedomOfAssembly #FreedomOfAssociation

R to @hkdc_us: There are a few independent civil society orgs that persist but most that do face harassment & persecution, & none operate as freely or fully as before 2020. #FreedomOfAssociation in HK has been gutted. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1608798102907138050#m

The thing is, the "Respect for Marriage Act" is an inherently optimistic piece of legislation. It ratifies our best impulses, that we can find someone to love who loves us in return. Like most legislation (and marriages), it's not perfect but then, neither are we.

We must do what we can to maintain and grow voluntary economic interactions and opportunities.

We must cultivate a "social fork" where we can prosper without coercion.
