Since received assumptions amount to propaganda, even to question them publicly is itself a victory. There are many issues - poverty, discrimination, protecting medicare, education funding, environmental degradation, energy price gouging etc. But you don't have to go back very far to a time when people were trying to gain rights for labour, for women, for natives, for prisoners, for gays and others. There has even been the occasional big victory, the cancellation of the MAI treaty for example. However, it's easier to protect rights gained than trying to get them in the first place.
Human rights are the result of popular engagement and struggle.
If there's another way to secure them, it's been kept a secret by those who own and control the country. Unfortunately, magic answers don't exist for those who want to get the job done fast.
