Rehumanize Chicago

Hello and welcome! My name is Eleanor, and I do internal communications for Rehumanize Chicago. We are freshly-launched consistent life ethic advocacy organization in in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Come to our kickoff social / watch party

Rehumanize International's Aimee Murphy has recently published a book about our movement and the consistent life ethic and is hosting a book launch over Zoom. She will be introducing her book and speaking with celebrated actor and consistent life ethic activist Martin Sheen.

To celebrate with the broader Rehumanize community and to kick off our own Chicago chapter, we're hosting a watch party at Cody's Public House. You are cordially invited to watch with us and meet the rest of the Rehumanize Chicago community.

Please RSVP to our event on EventBrite.

The Rehumanize Book Tour is coming to Chicago on Thursday, August 25

Mark your calendars for Thursday, August 25. Aimee Murphy will be in our city to talk about her new book Rehumanize: A Vision to Secure Human Rights for All.

About the book

Who deserves human rights? The answer to this question is the crux of all moral and political action in society, and defines our character as individuals and as nations. Aimee Murphy seeks to answer this vital question in this accessible and succinct handbook on the Consistent Life Ethic, a moral philosophy whose central principle is that each and every human being has inherent dignity from conception to natural death, and therefore deserves to live free from violence. Rehumanize: A Vision to Secure Human Rights for All includes a digestible yet systematic analysis of the history, ethics, and public policy surrounding modern issues of dehumanization, and casts a rehumanizing vision of a world beyond violence. Beyond the confines of political parties or religious exclusion, the founder of Rehumanize International communicates an aspiration to an inclusive ideal of a consistent movement of every human standing for every human. Activists, scholars, and leaders young and old will find this resource an indispensable cornerstone for their outreach and advocacy for decades to come.
