Match increased: Tracy, are you in?

Dear Tracy,

Great news! A group of donors was so inspired by the outpouring of support in this year's September Membership Drive, they pledged another $50,000 in matching funds.

Will you help us hit that increased goal?

In solidarity,

Steven Hawkins

	Only 6 days left: Join 5,000 other human rights champions Dear Tracy, Amnesty's Annual September Membership Drive ends in just six days. A group of donors was so inspired by the outpouring of support in this year's September Membership Drive, they pledged another $50,000 in matching funds increasing our goal to $350,000. Donate now and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar through Tuesday at midnight. Here are three reasons why your donation is needed now. Amnesty is sending research teams into war zones in Syria, Iraq and the Central African Republic to investigate possible war crimes so that our members can demand that that those responsible be stopped and held accountable. After unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot dead last month by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, Amnesty sent a human rights delegation to Ferguson. Delegation members included observers who monitored police and protester activity and field organizers who conducted trainings in non-violent methods of protest and offered support to the community. Amnesty will continue to respond to events on the ground as they unfold. Amnesty is speaking out for human rights defenders like Rebiya Kadeer. Her son Ablikim Abdiriyim is serving nine years in prison. Amnesty is concerned that the imprisonment is retaliation against Rebiya Kadeer for her work defending the rights of Uighurs, an ethnic minority group in China. There are reports that Ablikim has been tortured. Amnesty fears for his life and is demanding his urgent release. Don't stand on the sidelines. Do one thing right now to make our movement more powerful, effective and nimble. Donate to Amnesty. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar through September 30. This opportunity ends in just 6 days! Thanks in advance for your partnership. Sincerely, Steven Hawkins Executive Director Amnesty International USA P.S. We are so close to meeting our goal of 10,000 new and returning members. Donate before midnight on Tuesday and your contribution will go twice as far.
