We're getting real about women's rights

	I got this from Amnesty International:   https://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/site/apps/ka/rg/ecreg.asp?c=6oJCLQPAJiJUG&b=8290219&en=9iKHLUNzF8IQJ4PCK7IMK6NTLjKKLYNKIfLML1ONLqLUJ1NDIgKZK8PLInL2IjK Dear Tracy, From the U.S. presidential elections, to the ongoing  transformations in the Middle East and North Africa, to   Afghan women rising up to claim their rights, women's rights  are human rights -- and they are driving the global debate. As Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, I am  proud to say that Amnesty International has always been at the  white-hot center of the human rights debate. Now we need your help -- and your voice. I hope you'll join me on Thursday, October 4, for the  second annual   XX Factor -- Amnesty's women's rights forum in Washington D.C.   Seating is limited, so sign up now! And if you can't join us in D.C., then be sure to   tune into the  livestream beginning at noon. Eve Ensler, award winning author, playwright and activist, will  give the keynote and set the tone for our dialogue with  policymakers, grassroots activists, students, experts  and others advocating women's rights around our world. We'll discuss the human rights issues facing women today -  from the seismic political transitions that are unfolding across  the globe to women's participation in the 2012 elections and  beyond here in the U.S. For over fifty years, Amnesty has been working to create  change.  We know the core of that change begins with the  human rights of  women. And as Eve Ensler has said: women are the  primary  resource of the planet. I hope you'll join me for an experience you won't forget. Thank you and I hope to see you on October 4th! Suzanne Nossel Executive Director Amnesty International USA
