AI Madison Group #139 Weekly Update - Nov. 26, 2014


​Greetings Everyone!
     We invite you to read Steven Hawkins', the Amnesty International USA Executive Director, comments regarding the demonstrations and the news from Ferguson, Missouri. We also encourage you to read the Amnesty International Report, "On the Streets of America: Human Rights Abuses in Ferguson," that was published October 24, 2014. Group #139 hopes that the anger, frustration, and heartbreak felt by many throughout the U.S. will be expressed in peaceful and constructive actions. Stay safe.
     Some other ongoing Group #139 actions include: Write for Rights 2014, the 14 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence (25 Nov 10 to Dec2014), online petitions, and urgent actions. Join us and take action today!
     This week we have an abbreviated and "early" Weekly Update. Our website, Facebook, and Twitter posts may be delayed as I will be traveling and visiting with family over the holiday. However, keep sending your links and suggestions to our email address at group139@aiusa.org.We want to hear from you!
     Peace to All,
     -Debbie, Weekly Update Editor
