amnesty international's global write-a-thon...


26028 letters pledged!
439 write-a-thon participants registered so far!

this international solidarity event was initiated by activists at ai poland on december 10, 2002 in commemoration of International human rights day...this annual event involves tens of thousands of participants from more that thirty countries writing letters to make a powerful change in the lives of individuals, help stop violence against women and contribute to the release of prisoners of conscience around the world...an estimated 60,000 appeals were written and sent last year by letter writers from zimbabwe, peru, kyrgyzstan, japan, lebanon, the united states and elsewhere...

help us meet our goal of 50,000 letters by organizing a letter-writing event in your community...we'll provide all of the information and resources you need to make your event a success...
