Starting on October 22, 2024, the world’s largest human rights campaign launches in Canada. Whether you write letters or host an event, your words have the power to change lives. Register to join Write for Rights now.
Whether you want to write a letter, join an event or organize something of your own, there are many ways to participate in Write for Rights.
Real letters can bring hope to people in the direst of situations. When letters arrive in huge numbers, they are also an unmistakable reminder to prison authorities and others that the world is watching.
For every case, there are two types of messages you can write – one to the person in authority and one to the person we are fighting for, or their family, so they know we will never forget them.
Letter writing has always been at the heart of Amnesty International’s work, and over 60 years of activism shows us that words have power.
Last year, we took over 4.6 million actions, and our members hosted events in more than 200 countries, including 133 events in Canada. Together, we wrote millions of letters, emails, and tweets and signed petitions.
Send support to people who’ve been harassed, threatened and jailed just for who they are and what they do.
Put pressure on governments, leaders and decision-makers. Tell them the world is watching.
Release activists and journalists, fight injustice and protect people who advocate for change.
