Should I tell Eskinder to expect your letter?

I got this from Amnesty International:


Should I tell Eskinder to expect your letter?

 








Tracy,

A couple of days ago, I wrote an email asking you to write a 
letter to Eskinder Nega and his wife Serkalem Fasil. Did 
you have a 
chance to put that letter in the mail?

YES | NO


Eskinder has been arrested 8 times for his activism and journalism – 
apparently, the Ethiopian Government doesn’t appreciate being 
called out for 
 curtailing free speech!

If you haven’t written your letter yet, take a look  
 resources 
like sample letters you can use to get started.

Send your letter to:
Serkalem Fasil
℅ The Individuals at Risk Program
Amnesty International USA
600 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE 5th Floor
Washington, DC 20003
USA

Take up your pen, friend – your words have power.


Yours,

Jasmine Heiss
Individuals and Communities at Risk Campaigner
Amnesty International USA


PS – Eskinder’s case is one of 10 you can get involved with 
during Write for Rights this year – learn more at www.amnestyusa.org/writeforrights
