Human Rights Day is here

 I got this from Amnesty International:

Write for Rights - the world's biggest letter-writing event - is underway ...
Thousands of Write for Rights events are taking place across Canada today and in 80 countries around the world, as Amnesty International members and human rights supporters mark International Human Rights Day by taking action.
Don't miss it - drop in on our website today. It's free and anyone can be involved: sign-up, select a few eappeals, or one of our 12 priority letter-writing actions, watch videos, then with others or on your own write for freedom, for justice.

27,702 Canadians have already signed up to write!

Visit the Write for Rights to sign-up now


Three quick actions to take on Human Rights Day:

1. Sign urgent eappeal - sign our eappeal to free prominent lawyer Gao Zhisheng who remains detained in China and has been tortured within an inch of his life. Free Gao




2. Donate the price of stamps - make a symbolic Stamps of Hope gift to fund Amnesty International’s work to end human rights violations. Buy Stamps of Hope


3. Share - please tell your friends about Human Rights Day. You can watch Write for Rights videos, follow our tweets, share posts and join in today as we wear Amnesty yellow and alight Toronto's CN Tower to shine a light on human rights!

Thank you to all who have been holding large and small Write for Rights events in homes, schools, businesses across Canada over the weekend and today!
