Dear Concerned Community Members, (Please share this widely and with your groups)
Amnesty International USA Mid-Hudson is hosting our annual virtual
Zoom Global Write for Rights letter-writing event
on Zoom Sunday, January 23rd from 2:00-3:30 pm.
This year we will be writing letters on behalf of 10 human rights defenders. Cases include US citizen Ciham Ali of Eritrea arrested and missing since 2012, Bernardo Caal Xol of Guatemala imprisoned for defending a sacred river against a hydro-electric plant, and Sphere NGO in Ukraine for defending LGBTI rights.
Join Zoom Meeting ID: 84350521650 / Passcode: 745454 or
We will provide sample letters for you to hand write.
Writing letters to free human rights defenders works! Write a letter, impact a life! Check out our Facebook event event at https://www.facebook.com/events/975783943362903/ and invite your FB friends.
We hope to see you there! Come for a little while to write one letter or stay longer to write all 10. Contact Diana at [email protected] or (845)389-3779 for questions or to report your letters with our Amnesty International Mid-Hudson group.
Best wishes,
Diana
