Dear Amnesty Lobbyists,
For
those of you who were not able to schedule meetings with your
Congressional offices during the spring, you can still advocate for
human rights with your legislators – I’m attaching (click for CALL SCRIPTS and
SAMPLE TWEETS that you can use to lobby your Members of Congress from
the comfort of your own home.
Over
200 activists from 35 states signed up to urge their Members of
Congress to support the Geolocational Privacy and Surveillance Act (GPS
Act) and to oppose anti-refugee or anti-asylum seeker bills. Please
remember to send us pictures from your lobby visits and fill out a short
debrief form:http://www.amnestyusa.
Please
check out the elections toolkit, which provides guidance for members on
how to represent AIUSA during the election season (there will be
another piece of the toolkit out at the end of the summer), these issues
will be the focus of our fall lobby weeks (October 3-November 11): http://www.amnestyusa.
We look forward to you continuing your lobbying efforts on behalf of human rights in the fall – have a great summer!
