Become an Amnesty Member - Overview
Amnesty members in Canada
Welcome to the member’s area of Amnesty Canada's website. On these pages, you will find information to help you get better acquainted with Amnesty, and become active in the world's largest human rights organization.
Voices of hope, voices of change
As an Amnesty member, you’re part of a worldwide movement of almost two million people. Every day you’re helping those whose human rights are under attack.
You stand in solidarity with human rights defenders – people who often risk their lives and safety in the continuing struggle for human rights. Your support is protecting these courageous individuals from harassment, torture, beatings and “disappearances”.
Voices of hope, voices of change is a slideshow profiling human rights defenders and other Amnesty members. Click here to view the slideshow.
