Thank you for demanding justice for Raif Badawi.
Now, I’m asking you to take the next step. Deepen your impact by joining the Write for Rights campaign and writing a letter to help change Raif Badawi’s life and the lives of other Prisoners of Conscience like him.
When you write, you will be joining activists like John Legend and thousands of others across the globe as part of Write for Rights - the largest grassroots human rights event in the world.
Every year, in advance of Human Rights Day on December 10, Amnesty International identifies cases where global activism can have a huge impact - right now. Activists sign up to organize and join events or write letters on their own on behalf of the ten cases identified.
Raif Badawi is one of ten individuals highlighted during this year’s campaign.
Stand in solidarity with Raif and his family. Sign up to write a letter to Raif's wife, Ensaf, to let her know that Raif is not forgotten. Ensaf will share the letters with their three children and know that you are standing with her as she continues to work for her husband’s freedom.
Petitions, letters and notes of solidarity are already arriving at government offices, in prison cells and to families all over the world.
We’ve made letter writing easy for you: Sign up to tell us you’re writing, and on our site, you’ll find a letter template to the Saudi authorities that you can easily download, print and put in the mail. You will also find Ensaf’s address, a sample tweet in support of Raif, and a suggested message of solidarity.
After you’ve written, you can sign up to participate in a letter-writing event to help change more lives.
We know your time is limited, and we appreciate your efforts for speaking out on behalf of human rights that much more. Believe us when we say that together we are making a difference.
In solidarity,
Jasmine Heiss
Senior Campaigner
Amnesty International USA
