Humans, On Rights is an intellectual and stimulating conversation with human rights grassroots influencers, community leaders, policymakers, advocates and educators about their passion to become human rights champions. Humans, On Rights host Stuart Murray, the Inaugural President & CEO of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights will explore with his guest the power of a positive outcome when you connect the three human rights dots - Education. Mobilization. Take Action.
Stuart talks with an emerging human rights activist who is the Founder of the Human Rights Hub Winnipeg. Christie McLeod is currently an articling student at Miller Thompson, a policy advisor at Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and volunteers with Lawyers for Climate Justice. She is a top 30 under 30 Sustainability Leader. With a focus on Environmental and Indigenous Law, we talk about why it is important to be part of the climate change discussion, how to use your grassroots influence to get the government's attention on climate legislation and why pipelines to transmit oil to market are not required.
