we're just average people with jobs and families, pressures and bills, but we also have dreams and hopes that once a month, in nashville, bring us together to evaluate what we've done, monitor what we're doing, and plan what our next steps will be...always with a common vision:a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the universal declaration of human rights and other international human rights standards...
we are the local members of amnesty international the largest and most effective grassroots human rights organization in the world...a worldwide movement of people who campaign for human rights, whose work is based on careful research and on the standards agreed by the international community, that is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion....
amnesty international mobilizes volunteer activists — people who give freely of their time, like us, and energy in solidarity with those whose rights have been abused...
we believe that human rights are interdependent and indivisible – all human rights should be enjoyed by all people at all times, and no one set of rights can be enjoyed at the expense of other rights...
locally our members focus on the stop violence against women campaign, oppose abuses related to the "war on terror", and denounce torture which continues to permeate our world today...
we'd like you to come and join us...we meet the 3rd monday of each month at the atlanta bread company at 1720 west end avenue at 6:00 pm for about an hour...the next meeting is january 15th, the day we commemorate the life and work of dr. martin luther king, jr...
peace out <3
