Amnesty International is a global network made up of 7 million supporters, activists and volunteers, united by the commitment to freedom and human rights for all.
But how did we get this big?
One of most critical tactics for activists to help build our networks is to get the word out about who we are and what we do. This is where tabling comes in.
Tabling is an important and essential tool for recruiting new members, gathering signatures and building support for your groups’ work. It is one of the simplest and most effective ways to increase the visibility of Amnesty International in your community or at your school.
