Citizens Commission on Human Rights to Hold Forum on the Cause of Racism

Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Nashville (CCHR Nashville) is holding a special forum at the end of January 2018.

The Nashville Chapter of Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR Nashville) is planning a special forum in late January to follow up on the holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr., where they will discuss the cause of racism and strategies to combat this in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.   

CCHR is known as an advocate for human rights, especially as relates to patients’ rights in the field of mental health. Per the international CCHR website, cchr.org, “CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.”

“CCHR is committed to helping people learn their rights, especially as relates to freedom of conscience,” says CCHR Nashville Board Member, Brian Fesler. CCHR Nashville regularly hosts events and meetings with local leaders who give insight into patients’ rights, parents’ rights and more.

CCHR is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious mental health watchdog. Its mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. CCHR receives reports about abuses in the field of mental health and is especially interested in situations where persons experienced abuse or damage due to a false diagnosis or unwanted and harmful psychiatric treatments, such as psychiatric drugs, electroshock (ECT) and electronic or magnetic brain stimulation (TMS). CCHR is often able to assist with filing complaints, and can work with a person’s attorney to further investigate the case. To contact CCHR Nashville for more information, visit cchrnashville.org.  

Citizens Commission on Human Rights Hosts Holocaust Event, Sparks Discussion

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Nashville (CCHR Nashville) held a special briefing on The Holocaust: What They Don’t Want You to Know in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The UN General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. “On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the victims of the Nazi era and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s website.

This is why the Citizens Commission on Human Rights chose this day to present a special briefing on “The Holocaust: What They Don’t Want You to Know.” A special video was played which showed the atrocities committed in the early 1940s under the Nazi regime and exactly whose ideas led to the Holocaust. After seeing the video, attendees went into immediate discussion about the implications the video showed for how these same people are affecting people in the current day.

CCHR has long been an advocate for human rights, especially as relates to patients’ rights in the field of mental health. Per the international CCHR website, cchr.org, “CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatments, the right to all available medical alternatives and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.”

Church of Scientology Community News: YWCA Engaging Men Project

The Nashville Church of Scientology supports the good works of others. Today’s highlight: the YWCA launching a project to engage men to help bring an end to violence against women and girls.

The YWCA is spreading its message of nonviolence against women even further with a new project to encourage men to become involved. According to ywcanashville.org, “The YWCA seeks to promote awareness about domestic violence and works in cooperation with other organizations that serve victims of domestic violence.” Hence, the YWCA’s partnership with A Call to Men, a national violence prevention organization providing training and education for men, boys and communities.

The two organizations are joining together to host an event in early August with speakers including the Nashville Mayor and Chief of Police.

The Engaging Men project is being funded by a grant from the Verizon Foundation, which closely aligns with Verizon's strategy to engage and empower men to speak up and be part of the solution to end the violence.  The Verizon Foundation has even listed steps on its website for men to follow when they become aware of violent behavior. These steps can be seen at verizonfoundation.com/yourvoicecounts.

The YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee along with A Call to Men will host an event for Engaging Men on August 7, 2013 at 7:30am at the Belmont Curb Event Center. For more information or to register for the event, visit ywcanashville.com.
