Amnesty International - USA: Urgent Actions
- UPDATE AND NEW ACTION: Sudan is the World's Largest Humanitarian Crisis-You Can Help Stop the Bloodshed. The scale and horror of the atrocities happening right now to civilians in Sudan are beyond difficult to convey. Our Amnesty team has documented unimaginable violence, and in recent days, it has gotten so much worse. The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has become the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with over 12 million displaced and tens of thousands killed. El Fasher, once home to 1.5 million people, is now at the center of a humanitarian emergency. Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have taken control of the city and are actively carrying out house-to-house killings, sexual violence, and other atrocities - including mass execution of civilians based on ethnicity.. In the last week, the RSF expanded their attacks on civilians into other parts of Sudan, besieging cities in North and South Kordofan. We cannot turn our backs on people and families in Sudan. The world is largely ignoring what's happening to them, and we need your help to force our leaders to pay attention and take action.
- NEW: End Israel's Genocide in Gaza. Despite a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, attacks by Israeli forces continue in the occupied Gaza Strip, Palestinian civilians are still being killed, and families are still facing mass starvation as the engineered famine continues. We urgently need your help to continue pushing for a permanent halt to hostilities, an end to Israel's genocide, and justice. We must raise our voices now to make sure Congress and President Trump know we won't stand by while violations go unchecked.
- UPDATED: Urge Congress to Stop the Trump Administration Murdering People in Latin America and the Caribbean. The U.S. military's repeated air strikes targeting unidentified boats in Latin America and the Caribbean have as of writing now killed at least 76 people. These strikes are illegal under international human rights law, unconscionable, and dangerous. The use of lethal force in this context has no justification. If the U.S. government can unilaterally decide to bomb anyone it labels a "terrorist" - anywhere, anytime - it sets a chilling global precedent. No government should have the power to kill without accountability.
