Our canvassers are courteous and well-trained people who share our concern for human rights. While Amnesty volunteers also participate in outreach and fundraising work, owing to the sensitive financial information exchanged when you choose to become a sustained supporter of Amnesty International, we often employ professional companies to assist us with this work. What’s important for you to know is that:
- Official Amnesty canvassers wear a badge
- Official Amnesty canvassers do not accept cash donations
