One way of doing this successfully is to make DC a Human Rights City with a functioning Human Rights Corps. The Corps ensures that every citizen and resident of the city knows and takes ownership of their human rights and the HR City brings business, government and civil society together in an assembly, NO ONE can be denied participation. In this way a HR City is more democratic than a democracy. With business, government and civil society around the same table as equals...it becomes possible to make this one city, the municipality, business and civil society reforms their policies to conform with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a foundation and framework to ensure equality without discrimination. This would be in human resource development, education, healthcare and all other facets of city life. It has been done in other parts of the world, why not here?
