Amnesty supporters across the country are taking action for Write for Rights.
Every year on December 10th, Amnesty International celebrates International Human Rights Day with the world’s largest grassroots human rights event. Last year, we sent 3.7 million letters and messages for human rights from 200 countries. 30,000 participants in Canada contributed over 35,000 actions to the worldwide total. Our activists make all this possible.
