"This administration has taken religious freedom, which is a legitimate right, as the preeminent right. However, we must hold up the universality of #rights, the non-hierarchical nature of rights." -- William Schulz @amnestyusa #TheComingGoodSociety

"It is not enough to address the rollbacks of the last 3 to 4 years. There was already plenty wrong before that. The starting point needs to be assessing the state of #rights in the U.S. Then rethinking policies internationality with this rights lens." -- @sushmaraman

"It is inevitable that the architecture of human rights will change and part of what the book is trying to do is point us in the direction of what those changes will likely be or need to be." -- William Schulz on why he co-wrote "The Coming Good Society" @amnestyusa

"Not every context including in the U.S. can we say the law equals justice," says @sushmaraman. "We need to think about how to advocate for justice in all institutions and movements in addition to the courts.” @amnestyusa #TheComingGoodSociety
