Subject: Response to Your Message
 July 24, 2024 Dear Dr. Tran,Thank you for writing to me about human rights. The United States was founded on the most powerful idea in the history of the world: that we are all created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights. Today, this idea beats in the hearts of millions around the world who march, fight, and sacrifice for the innate liberties we deserve as humans. My Administration has put human rights at the center of our domestic and foreign policy priorities. Together with our partners and allies, the United States continues to defend fundamental freedoms and human rights wherever they are under threat. At home and abroad, my Administration is championing the voices and safeguarding protections for religious, racial, and ethnic minorities; women and girls; LGBTQI+ communities; persons with disabilities; and pro-democracy activists and human rights defenders, who are too often targeted by discrimination, subjected to violence, or denied equal protection under the law. Democracy is necessary to ensure that every voice is heard; that the human rights of all are respected, protected, and fulfilled; and that the rule of law is upheld. We must work to advance every individual’s right and opportunity to participate in political, social, and economic life on an equal basis, without undue restrictions, interference, or intimidation, including systemic discrimination or marginalization. My Administration is committed to removing these barriers and combating inequity where individuals are discriminated against or experience violence because of the color of their skin, how they practice their faith, or who they are and who they love. I have often said that one of America’s greatest strengths is that we lead not by the example of our power but by the power of our example. That’s why we must live by our values at home, and we must never cease working to uphold the dignity and protect the rights of every person in this country while promoting protection of those same rights globally. As we look at today’s global challenges online and offline—from conflict, democratic backsliding, and global pandemics to misinformation, the misuse of technology, the climate crisis, and food insecurity—the human rights principles are the bedrock upon which we must tackle these issues. The United States joins people across the country and around the world in promoting the full enjoyment of human rights of all people. Together, we can—and we will—bend the arc of history toward a freer and more just world for all.Sincerely,  If you wish to receive regular email updates from the White House, please click here.
