N-Map’s team just returned from Haiti, where we were assisting the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), and the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) in their efforts to hold the United Nations accountable for creating a cholera epidemic in Haiti.

As you will see in the video, so many other fundamental rights depend upon having a safe, healthy,… Read More Justice in Mississippi – South Delta Regional Housing Authority (Part 2 of 3)
We just finished producing three short videos with the Mississippi Center for Justice, which profile several of the many problems that the Center is tirelessly working to fix.
