Dear John,
Painful events stemming from long-standing racism, white supremacy, and excessive force against the Black community have underscored what many have known and experienced for too long: the world we live in is filled with great injustice and great inhumanity.
We are in a crisis. And our response must be swift and meaningful. That’s why I’m writing to you with a special and urgent request.
Today, Amnesty is kicking off our Membership Drive, which aims to secure 2,500 donations by June 30th. New donors are the lifeblood of our movement. Will you take this important step and make your first donation today? For a short time, it will be matched.
Your donation will support our crucial and timely RightsNow! efforts:
- Demanding systemic reform of the U.S. system of policing so we can root out racism and stop human rights violations.
- Advocating for people most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic — including Black and brown people, and asylum-seekers detained in crowded facilities with inadequate access to hygiene and medical care.
- Protecting people’s right to peaceful protest — both in the U.S. and across the world, including in Hong Kong and Brazil.
John, we accept no money from governments for our research and campaigns. We are funded through membership donations from people like you.
To stay on track, we need 500 people to step up today. Plus, every dollar you donate will be matched.
People are relying on us to protect their human rights. Can we rely on you? Be part of our Membership Drive.
Thank you very much for your support and generosity.
