Today we want to share with you our ‘Favorites Tweets’ @CIVICUSalliance. Last year, Max Dana mentioned their amazing work in her post: Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough?, and in May we published an article about CIVICUS 2010 World Assembly in Montreal -Register now! in which we mentioned the connection between Max Dana and CIVICUS: the artwork from the  ‘60 Signers for the 60th Anniversary’ Initiative launched by Max in 2008 to support the Every Human Has Rights Campaign (The Elders), was delivered to Ingrid Srinath, Secretary General of CIVICUS.

So it has been a while since we are following the organization news and actions. Today is Mandela Day, we published a post this week: Mandela Day: Give 67 minutes to change the world!, and CIVICUS also mentioned it on the Every Human Has Rights website. Two good reasons to select CIVICUS in this new Twitter Sunday and to introduce you to the organization if you don’t know it already!
