Amnesty International Insider - NEWSLETTER July

Amnesty International
July 2016

 We've had powerful reminders this month of how important it is to ensure that people's rights are respected everywhere, with the shootings in the U.S., the attacks in Nice, Mogadishu, Munich, Baghdad, Dhaka and Kabul, the brutal crackdown following the failed coup in Turkey, and so many other events.

Amnesty International's work has never been more critical – and it's never been more important for us to have a strong voice in the U.S. that's connected to our global movement.

Last week, AIUSA Board Chair Ann Burroughs and I were in Barcelona to meet with the directors and chairs of other Amnesty International sections across the globe and plan our shared work as a movement. It was inspiring to share experiences and ideas with our colleagues from around the world. We developed plans on several key areas of work, including the global campaign for refugees, which we'll share more about in the weeks and months ahead.

From the observer delegations in Cleveland and Philadelphia to researchers documenting human rights crises in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and all around the world, Amnesty is always focused on defending the human rights of every person–no matter who or where they are.

None of this work is possible without you. Your support and activism make Amnesty the powerful force for change in so many places around the world.

Thank you,

Margaret Huang
Interim Executive Director
Amnesty International USA
