This week we have all watched breathlessly as families fled Aleppo. Our
hearts break for the war-torn families caught in the crossfire. On
December 14, Amnesty International issued a plea to have UN monitors into Aleppo and has demanded a safe evacuation for the people of Aleppo. Click here to add your voice for their safe evacuation. Also see this BBC report describing Aleppo as a "Mini World War."
This is also our once-a-year 2016 fundraising appeal.
No one is paid in our group. We are all volunteers. Our funds are
primarily used for mailing expenses, community outreach, education
(conferences), and local group membership to Amnesty International. Your donations to "Group #139 of Amnesty International" are completely tax deductible. Donations are greatly appreciated and can be sent to Dr. Azam Niroomand-Rad at 350 South
Hamilton Street, Unit #501, Madison, WI 53703. If you have any questions,
just send her an email at Azamnrad@gmail.com.
IMPORTANT:
We are looking for some volunteers to expand our social media outreach.
Help us from the comfort of your home and work with Azam and Debbie. If
you are interested or have any questions about this exciting opportunity, please contact Azam at azamnrad@gmail.com
