Dear John,

We’d like to take a moment, right now, to celebrate dedicated supporters like you and what you’ve helped us accomplish recently.

Girls, initially denied entry to school because they’re pregnant, are back to class in Sierra Leone; survivors of sexual violence are marking a victory in Spain, with the long overdue introduction of a new bill to define rape as sex without consent; Chinese human rights lawyer Wang Quanzhang, wrongly imprisoned for almost five years, is now home with his family; and here in Canada, the Federal Court has sided with Amnesty and other human rights organizations, telling Canada it’s unconstitutional to continue turning refugees away and back to the United States under the Safe Third Country Agreement.

Amazing, right?

This is just a small sampling of the change Amnesty International supporters like you have brought about in less than a year. Thank you for relentlessly defending human rights with us, in Canada and around the world.

We need your help again, John. From today until October 31, we’re urgently searching for 150 new monthly donors. We’re looking for visionaries who want to build a world that works for all of us. A world where Canada doesn’t turn refugees away at the border. A world where every worker’s rights are respected and upheld. Where gender equity is a given. Where people aren’t being killed because of who they love or the colour of their skin.

John, will you help us create that world? Join us as a monthly donor today.

As an added incentive for signing up today, we’ll send you an exclusive Amnesty International face mask as a small way of saying a big thanks for your vital support.

Join us today and your automated, monthly transaction will help save lives every day of the year. You’ll be stopping torture, fighting for gender equity, demanding respect for Indigenous rights, making a stand against anti-Black racism, supporting the rights of LGBTQ2S+ individuals, bringing justice and safeguarding human rights around the world. You’ll be helping to create a world where we’re all safe. Sign up to become a monthly donor today.

Thank you for your essential support and your fearless action.

With gratitude,

Irena Chipilova
Member Services Associate
Amnesty International Canada

PS: We know choosing to give monthly may not be possible for everyone and we’re so grateful for your support, John. If you are able to give monthly, please do that now, here.
