Write for Rights 2022 Recap

For this year’s Amnesty International Write for Rights effort, our group again asked our friends and family to join us in writing letters on the ten human rights cases highlighted by Amnesty International.   Our group sent off a total of 180 letters to government officials demanding justice in January. We also collected 110 letters of support that were sent to those who have had their rights abused. Vera continues to be our group record holder, with a whopping 136 letters this year alone!   Thank you to everyone who joined us! We are grateful for the commitment to justice shown every year through this effort.   Learn more about Write for Rights on Amnesty International USA’s webpage here:  https://write.amnestyusa.org
