vil-lage /'vilij/ a human settlement
in /in/ prog-ress /'pr''agres/ has started and is still continuing.
Civil rights come from government, which comes from men; however, men come from God. Therefore, your rights come from God. Civil government is just the mechanism we use here in America to protect those rights, and it says as much in our founding documents.
The (1948) Universal Declaration of Human Rights enumerates (30) rights by international treaty, which has been adopted and ratified by all 193 nations on earth. Here in America, we have additional rights enumerated in our US and State Constitutions. This organization exists in service to the protection of those God-given human rights and the aspects of Western Civilization which produced them.
We perform case studies and other research to determine potential improvements to the protections of those rights. We provide FREE consultation to individuals, organizations, corporations, government agencies and political candidates. We provide FREE presentations to schools and other academic institutions. We provide FREE events and conferences featuring both faith leaders and political leaders and we are the sole organization providing these services in the State of Nebraska.
VILLAGE IN PROGRESS of NEBRASKA is partnered with the US Institute of Diplomacy and Human Rights.
GRASSROOTS
We are comprised of three generations of Nebraskans making our home here since 1994. Our team is completely volunteer, no paid employees, and we will accept anybody. To maintain our objectivity and integrity, we do not take any grant money, whatsoever. We are quite literally Of the People, By the People and For the People.
COMMITMENT TO NON-VIOLENCE
We believe in civil disobedience in cases of corrupt governance and employ Dr. Martin Luther King's 4 principal tenets of non-violent resistance in every direct action we organize, and we do not condone violence as a means to an end, regardless of the circumstances.
