Amnesty International Madison Group #139 Weekly Update - August 29, 2014


Greetings Everyone!
     This week we have worked hard to clarify our policies regarding our website, Facebook, and Twitter. Please note that we will be posting information from Amnesty International and other Human Rights organizations and, that as an Amnesty International Group, we do not raise funds for other organizations. Our policy updates can be found on our website (About Us/Join Us tab and our Welcome message). We have also experienced some inappropriate comments on our Facebook page. That policy can be found under Notes on our FB page. We ask that comments made to our Facebook page be respectful and that issues regarding our organization be discussed privately.
     This week also brought a surge of new "likes" to our Facebook page. As of Thursday, August 28, we received 231 likes which means we are getting our message out there. If you are on Facebook, we encourage you to "like," "share," and "comment on" our postings. This is another quick and easy way you can make a difference.
     Finally, we would like to encourage our members to share Amnesty International and Human Rights information and links with us. Either reply to this email, which is distributed to our group, or send your ideas to Azam (group139@aiusa.org) for consideration on our website, Facebook, or Twitter postings.
     -Debbie, Webmistress
