Dear Tracy,
Why did the U.S. government kill Nabeela's grandmother? At age 8, Nabeela Bibi witnessed the unimaginable horror of a U.S. drone blowing her grandmother, Mamana Bibi, to pieces. Last week, she and her brother and father traveled over 7,000 miles to tell their painful story to Congress. Nabeela had to relive that terrifying day all over again. Adding insult to injury, the Washington Post reports that only 5 members of Congress bothered to show up. Today, I'm asking you to help this child and her family seek the truth. Donate to Amnesty International so that we can help Nabeela and her family find out why the U.S. killed their beloved Mamana and defend human rights worldwide. In the past few weeks I've crisscrossed the country building a movement to raise awareness about Mamana's case and rein in the killer drone program. It's been incredible to watch people learn about the secrecy and devastation of the U.S. government's drone program. Every evening, I look at a photo of Nabeela, and I am appalled at the suffering this child has endured. And I vow to help this little girl get the answers she deserves. We're taking this fight to President Obama and Congress until they tell the truth, and there is justice for Nabeela and others like her. Make an urgent donation today to support this important human rights work and help us create the level of public pressure needed to prevent illegal killings. What will it take to make the government talk about these attacks? We must make our cry for justice louder and more powerful than the drones. Amnesty has a plan to kick this movement into high gear, but we can't take it to the next level without you. Follow Nabeela's lead — stand up for human rights. This is your chance to make a difference. In solidarity, Kalaya'an Mendoza National Youth Program Coordinator Amnesty International USA |
