Greetings Everyone!
We
have so many petitions, urgent actions, news items, videos, and events
this week! Whew! To get you in the mood for the GOOD NEWS and the
HEARTBREAKING NEWS, click on this video (satire). It's about 4 minutes long. Then, sharpen your pencils, dust off your computer, and join us as we take action for human rights. Together we can make a difference!
This
week we received a question about our Urgent Actions. Amnesty
International researches each case and sends us alerts almost daily. The
Action includes background information, may include updated
information, sometimes includes a deadline, and also includes contact
information. We write letters on behalf of that person or persons. We
average around ten a week. Guidelines for writing Urgent Actions can be
found here. To learn how the Urgent Action Network began, please click here. Here is a link to this week's Urgent Actions. Thanks for writing on behalf of our Urgent Action cases.
Did you know that all of our posts and links come from YOU? Our membership includes people from all over the United States and the world. If you have a human rights petition, news item, video, or event that you would like to share with our group, please send an email to Azam at azamnrad@gmail.com.
We
would be happy to review your suggestion. Please keep in mind that we
cannot post anything that is political (or partisan) or is a fundraising
appeal.
Amnesty International has still not fixed our group's email address so please use this one. azamnrad@gmail.com
Have a great week and thank you for your human rights work!
