Rights are the activities permissible for engagement by the individual within society which generate no response, and require no recourse, from government. Natural law is the foundation of American law, which presumes human rights come from God (Genesis 1:27). Civil rights are the codification of torts, or civil claims against civil government. Civil government comes from God (Romans 13:1). Men are made by God, government is made by God, and therefore, all your rights come from God. Civil government is just the mechanism we use here in America to secure those rights. (US Declaration of Independence (1776)).
The (1948) Universal Declaration of Human Rights enumerates (30) rights by international treaty, which has been adopted and ratified by all 193 nations on earth. Here in America, we also have additional rights enumerated in our Federal and State Constitutions. This organization exists in service to the protection of those God-given human rights, and to the aspects of Western Civilization which produced them.
We perform case studies and other research to determine potential improvements to the protections of those rights. We provide consultation to individuals, organizations, corporations, government agencies and political candidates. We provide presentations to schools and other academic institutions. We provide events and conferences featuring both faith leaders and political leaders. All services are free of charge, and we are the sole organization providing these services in the State of Nebraska.
VILLAGE IN PROGRESS of NEBRASKA is partnered with the US Institute of Diplomacy and Human Rights.
COMMITMENT TO NON-VIOLENCE
Apostle Peter tells us that bearing unjust suffering is of Christ (1 Peter 2:19-25). Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. publicly stated, "I dont think any society can call an individual irresponsible who breaks the law and willingly accepts the penalty if conscience tells him that that law is unjust, and I think that this is a long tradition in our society, it is a long tradition in biblical history." (Meet the Press March 28 1965).
As such, we exclusively endorse civil disobedience as the only response to government abuses.
