Greetings Everyone!
We'd like to welcome Margaret Huang, an advocate for human rights and racial justice for more than two decades, who is now the Executive Director of Amnesty International USA. Click here for more information about our new Executive Director.
On a personal note, I will be traveling on business to Europe over the next ten days. I may or may not have internet access. Therefore, our Weekly Update may be delayed or postponed until I return. I will try to keep up with Urgent Actions but no promises :-)
Member News: Congratulations to Farideh Kioumehr, one of our members, for the successful Anti-Violence Event on Peace Day 2016 in Irvine, CA. We have included some of the photos from this event on our website. Thumbs Up!!!

Website News: I'm not sure why but all of the
information on our sidebar is missing. This information includes: Calendar of
Events, Videos & Podcasts, Human Rights Links, Urgent Actions, and Featured
Posts. I'll try to reconstruct this important part of our website when I
return. Not really sure why we have gremlins invading our website :-(
Facebook
Update: When we first started our Facebook page we were trying to figure out
how we could spread the word about human rights to more people. We only had 3
or 4 people who had "liked" our page. Today we have 643 with 3 new
likes this week! Membership, you are amazing!!!-Debbie, Weekly Update Editor
