Welcome to the newly polished website — fresh-off-the-press — for the Carleton chapter of Journalists for Human Rights, or Cjhr!
We have another packed schedule of pure awesomeness in the 2011/12 year — from our HollerDay benefit concert, to writing/photography tutorial workshops, to loads of opportunity to get your stories, photos and multimedia gems published online.
Started in 2004, Cjhr aims to educate the public on human rights issues around the world. This year we’ll be continuing with these goals while keeping an eye on what’s going on in our backyards in Ottawa, so you can use rights media to report on what YOU care about — from homelessness to prostitution, sustainability to racial equality.

Hello Carleton Chapter,
Wes Normington from jhr’s head office here. Hope you are all pumped up and ready for HollerDay!
First off, on behalf of the women of the DRC – thank you very much for your participation in HollerDay.
In addition to making as much noise as possible this HollerDay, it is absolutely crucial that everyone participating raises as much money as possible from their networks of friends and family. By asking people to donate, you will be making an immediate impact in the fight to end widespread sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The first step is to register. To do that, you can follow this link: https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/startup.aspx?eventid=63048
Every dollar counts. Sign up today and spread the word to your friends and family that you have committed to taking an action that will make a difference and the women of the DRC need their support.
Thanks again everyone.
Happy HollerDay!
Wes Normington
