The 2023 Write for Rights campaign is live! Now through January 31, AIUSA is mobilizing supporters to take action on 10 Global Write for Rights cases. Check out the case details below!
"Write A Letter, Change A Life." That’s the idea behind Write for Rights, our global letter-writing campaign. We’ve been doing it every year for 22 years and today, it’s the world’s biggest human rights event. Like most great things, it began with a group of friends and one big idea. A group of activists in Warsaw, Poland, decided to celebrate Human Rights Day (10 December) a little differently. They held a 24-hour letter-writing marathon, writing letters day and night on behalf of people whose rights had been wronged. Write for Rights supporters have used the power of their words to unite behind a common purpose – backing people no matter where they are in the world. Together, they’ve helped transform the lives of more than 100 people over the years, freeing them from torture, harassment, or unjust imprisonment.
We hope your local group will take part in the Write for Rights campaign this year!
