here's a chance to save $$$ (ka-ching) and maybe meet me for coffee next spring...amnesty international usa is proud to announce that our keynote speaker at the 2008 annual general meeting (agm) -- ignite hope, advocate change -- is amnesty international secretary general, irene khan...the agm will be held in washington, dc from april 23-28, 2008 and will feature a national lobby day on april 28th...
the first woman and the first muslim secretary general of amnesty international, secretary khan has been one of the leading figures in the struggle for human rights for over twenty five years...she has worked for the united nations high commissioner for refugees (unhcr), including serving as the unhcr chief of mission in india...she has fought to expose hidden human rights abuses, including the plight of asylum seekers in australia and discrimination against those with mental disabilities in bulgaria...
the agm is especially important this year as we have added a national lobby day on monday, april 28th...this is a unique opportunity to tell your member of congress that human rights must be a top priority for the u.s., and human rights abuses will not go unchecked...
save $25!...take advantage of our special early bird registration before january 31st by registering for the 2008 agm today.
peace out <3
