Amnesty International USA
Every month, Amnesty International members
gather in coffee shops, community centers, classrooms, and living rooms to take
action for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. We take injustice
personally, and when we take action collectively, we have the power to change
lives, and to change our world. Your actions make a difference. Just weeks ago,
Phyoe Phyoe Aung, a youth leader who had been imprisoned in Myanmar for her
activism, was released due in part to the enormous global pressure of Amnesty
activists! Of course, there’s much more work to do. For April and May, we’re
looking for a groundswell of action around AIUSA priority campaigns and
programs:
Priority
Campaigns:
- Global Refugee Crisis: Letters to the Editor to spark conversation in your community
- Deadly Force: Sign the online petition to demand justice for Natasha McKenna
- Individuals at Risk: Call for clemency for Leonard Peltier
AIUSA Programs:
- Women’s Rights: Call on the Tunisian government to reform laws that punish survivors of sexual and gender-based violence
- Security With Human Rights: Ask Senators and Representatives to support the GPS Act
- Member Advocacy: demand truth and justice for the Trinco 5
