Jen’s Green Journal has a post on an Amnesty International write-a-thon for Human Rights Day on December 10.
Today Amnesty sent out an invitation for folks to give an
Amnesty International gift membership for the holidays. Here is the message:
The holiday season is here, and what better present for your loved ones than an Amnesty International gift membership? Especially if their truest holiday wish is dignity and human rights for all people around the world.
Every dollar we receive will go to accomplishing our 2006 Wish List:
Pressure the Bush administration and Congress to end U.S. government-sponsored torture in 2006.
Stop the modern day slave trade – the trafficking of countless individuals who are forced into labor, sexually exploited and subjected to abuse.
Win the release of prisoners of conscience including mother and teacher Mah Khin Khin Leh, imprisoned for life solely for organizing a peaceful demonstration in Myanmar (Burma).
Ensure that U.S. policy champions rights protected in the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and international law – ending indefinite detention without charge or trial and incommunicado detention.
End the brutal use of the death penalty against child offenders worldwide.
Help expand the Amnesty International network to achieve all of the above.
Give the gift of an Amnesty International membership and send your friends and loved ones a heartfelt message this season. With your gift, they will receive:
a personalized eCard from you
a welcome kit with information about Amnesty’s work
a subscription to our news magazine, Amnesty International
the satisfaction of joining over 1.8 million other members worldwide in defending human rights
Click here to give the gift of Amnesty International membership today!
My best to you and your family this holiday season,
Bill Schulz
Executive Director
Amnesty International
