Amnesty International 2023 Write for Rights (W4R)

Today, we’re inviting you to join Amnesty International (AI) annual letter-writing campaign, Write for Rights (W4R). Your words are not just ink on paper, but powerful tools for justice, hope, and change.

Using the power of voice, W4R supporters have united behind a common purpose: together we can change lives of voiceless for better. For over 60 years activism, Letter Writing has always been at the heart of AI campaign.

This year’s AI campaign features 10 people and communities worldwide whose human rights are violated by governments, police, or big corporations. Visit AI website using: write.amnestyusa.org to learn more about this year's Write for Rights cases. Here’s how you can take part for this year Write for Rights:
