Letter to Obama

In March 2009 dozens of 'human rights groups' and activists in the United States, signed a statement urging President Barack Obama to rethink his decision to boycott the United Nations-sponsored anti-racism conference.

As you know, the Durban Review Conference is one of the most important international platforms for discussing the elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerances.

A boycott would be inconsistent with your policy of engagement with the international community…

Individual signers of the statement included Loretta Ross a National Coordinator of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective.^[2]
