December 10, International Human Rights Day, marks a global day of action
Join us this year to help change a life!
Prepare yourself to save a life on December 10th!
Dear friends,
It's an awe-inspiring thought that you and I can really save someone's life.
What makes this possible is that the few minutes, or maybe a full hour or more, of your time on December 10th, International Human Rights Day, contributes one small part to a massive, life-saving effort as Amnesty International mobilizes its world-wide network to take action on some of the most high-profile cases in human rights.
It's worth your time because your involvement can lead to these kind of results:

It's worth your time because your involvement can lead to these kind of results:
- "Your letters kept hope alive at the darkest hours of need.”
- “I am alive today because the international community has heard about our work."
- "Amnesty International members are living proof that this world can be a better place."
Don't miss being a part of this powerful event.
It's easy to participate, it's free, it's empowering: you
can choose to write one or several letters, sign one or all of our
featured online petitions, share your support on social media, or
organize a Write for Rights event with your friends, family or
colleagues.
There are already 130 events registered across Canada and we expect tens of thousands of individual Canadians to be taking action on their own or as part of a larger Write for Rights event on International Human Rights Day.
Last year Amnesty International supporters in over 140 countries sent more than 2.3 million letters and petitions on International Human Rights Day!
We know that the influence of letters or a widely-circulated petition can tip the balance and persuade a government leader to do the right thing. We know that our efforts get results. Read successes stories.
Will it be YOUR action that tips the balance and saves a life?
Sometimes we can work for years to secure someone's freedom or to bring justice to someone who is suffering from human rights abuse. For that reason, each letter-writing case featured in Write for Rights also offers you a chance to write a letter directly to someone who needs hope and support.
