What is the Virginia Coalition for Human Rights (VCHR)?

The Virginia Coalition for Human Rights (VCHR) is a broadly based, growing coalition of Virginian organizations that advocate for Palestinian human rights. We support and defend universal human rights, free speech (including the right to boycott) and academic freedom. We believe it is our responsibility to protest oppression, discrimination, and violations of international law wherever they occur. The Palestinian people's rights are inalienable – whether they live in Virginia, in Palestine or elsewhere as immigrants or refugees.
