Amnesty International has been present at the Republican National
Convention this week and will also observe the Democratic Convention
next week. Amnesty International USA has described their role at the two
major Conventions in this NEWS article and action TOOLKIT. Also click here for an observer email UPDATE and ACTIONS. If you are going to protest, know your rights. Click here for Amnesty International Press Release. Also check out "Policing the police and watching protesters," from CNN.
Angie Hougas, one of our AI Madison Group members and an AIUSA Board
member, writes an excellent personal email/newsletter, "Keeping
You Connected." She includes information about Amnesty International USA
regarding actions, sample scripts, and news items. Unfortunately, we
cannot directly link to her email since her newsletter does not have a
web address. The links that I have created for her newsletter and that
are found in our Weekly Update do not and cannot include photos. We
suggest that you contact Angie at hougasa@execpc.com
and ask to be part of her mailing list. We hope that she will continue
to send AI Madison Group #139 her emails/newsletter as we do appreciate
her insights and activism related to Amnesty International.
Just a few actions and human rights news story this week. As always, if
you have something you would like to share with our group or posted on
our website & social media pages, please send your emails to azamnrad@gmail.com keeping in mind that we do NOT post anything political/partisan or links asking for donations.
