It’s devastating to write these words, but Donald Trump’s plans and promises feel like a human rights emergency.
He has already shown us the bigotry, xenophobia, and white supremacist rhetoric that existed under his first term. And sadly, I fear that a second term will be no different.
I want to acknowledge the grief, anger, and fear that many may be feeling right now. But I need you to know — Amnesty International will be throwing its heart and soul into stopping any and all anti-human rights initiatives in Trump’s plans.
We cannot — and will not – back down. Far too much is at stake.
Right now, you may be filled with anxiety thinking things like: Now what? What can I do?
Let me be clear — Amnesty International has been through it all. We’ve been defending freedoms from those trying to strip them away for more than six decades — and we’re not about to stop now.
Today, I ask that you show your support for human rights loud and proud by signing onto our letter telling our leaders we will be holding them accountable >>
