Be part of our Individuals at Risk team

Be part of our Individuals at Risk team Dear Tracy, Imagine you are being targeted by your government. You attend a peaceful protest, but authorities label you an enemy of the state and start hunting you. You can't turn to the police for help and you're afraid for your life and the lives of your family. What do you do? At Amnesty International, our Individuals at Risk team receives phone calls and emails - from all over the world and at all hours of the day - about somebody in danger who needs help fast. Right now, my team's resources are stretched thin. With conflicts surging around the world, journalists, students and families who must flee the violence or pay with their lives are relying on us. But the truth is, we're relying on you. Help support our efforts. Make your first donation to Amnesty now and your gift will go twice as far through our December match challenge. Plus, when you make a donation of $50 or more, we'll send you an Amnesty t-shirt so you can start a conversation about human rights wherever you go. We never know what to expect when requests for help roll in. At any given moment, a man, woman or child could be at imminent risk of torture, kidnapping, imprisonment, or sexual assault. The one thing these cases have in common is their urgency - we often have just days or hours to respond. Have you ever heard about someone in a desperate situation and thought 'somebody has to do something'? I'm writing to tell you, you can be that somebody. Donate and help me say yes to the next desperate request for safety, freedom, or protection. For a short time, your donation will go twice as far. Sincerely, Steven Hawkins Executive Director Amnesty International USA
