AI Madison Group #139 Weekly Update - October 7, 2016

 
Ciao Everyone!
     Internet access has been spotting during this trip but there are still lots of actions and news stories in this week's Update. We received our first post about this year's Write for Rights Campaign which we will post  much more information about this important letterwriting campaign in future Weekly Updates. Also check out the surprise vote in Colombia and some of the articles written about this event. Congratulations to Juan Manuel Santos for winning the Nobel Peace Prize while trying to broker this peace agreement. Although the agreement failed to win the vote of the people, he was re-elected.
     Thanks to our contributors. I'm trying to keep on top of all of the posts submitted.
