Hello Amnesty supporters,
You are invited to join human rights advocates in the Kitchener/Waterloo area as we take part in Amnesty International’s annual Write for Rights letter-writing campaign — the biggest human rights event in the world!
What to do: We will have printed copies of letters for you to sign as well as blank cards and art materials so you can prepare messages of support for the people and families whose rights are under threat.
W4R-2025-letterspdffinal15pshare.pdf, 90 kBytesDownload the prepared letters with instructions so that if you have the time, you can sign the letters in advance and bring them with you to our event on January 10. That way, you can focus on preparing the cards of support when you arrive.
More about Write for Rights:
Write for Rights involves hundreds of thousands of people across 200 countries and territories who write millions of letters and and send messages of support on behalf of eight individuals or groups whose rights are at risk.
Write for Rights has helped transform the lives of more than 100 people since 2001, freeing them from torture, harassment, or unjust imprisonment.
This year Amnesty International’s eight cases include: displaced people in Madagascar in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, Sámi reindeer herders in Norway whose lifestyle and land rights are under threat, deadly conditions in South African daycares, a lawyer and media commentator in Tunisia jailed for criticizing inhumane prison conditions, a photojournalist sentenced to 20 years hard labour in prison for reporting on the impact of a cyclone in northern Myanmar and the intimidation, imprisonment and murder of environmentalists in the Amazon, Cambodia, and Honduras.
Your words have the power to change lives! Please join us to sign letters and send messages of support to change lives for the better.
Hope to see you on January 10!!!
