[[link removed]]Dear John,

Nassima is in prison for campaigning for women’s rights in Saudi Arabia. Gustavo
was shot and blinded by police for protesting in Chile. Jani is risking her life
to protect the Amazon in Colombia.

The stories of Nassima, Gustavo, Jani and seven other urgent cases are why we
need you to join Amnesty International's Write for Rights, the world’s biggest event for human rights
[[link removed]] .

Every year, around December 10th (International Human Rights Day), people around
the world write millions of letters, emails, tweets and sign petitions in
solidarity with people who have been harassed, threatened and jailed for
speaking out or for who they are.

And together, every year, we change lives.

Will you join Write for Rights to change a life? Sign up now.

When we all act together, we are more powerful.

Together, we will be putting pressure on governments, leaders and
decision-makers. We will show love and support for the people featured in this
year’s cases and their families. And we will make change happen – releasing
activists and protecting people who stand up for change.

Last year, more than 6.6 million actions were taken in homes, schools and public spaces across Canada and the world. And
we helped to change lives, including that of 18-year-old Magai Matiop Ngong, who
was freed from death row in South Sudan in July 2020:

“Thank you so much. I have no words. You have no idea how my heart is filled
with happiness." – Magai, Write for Rights 2019 case

This year’s Write for Rights will look a little different with COVID-19
restrictions, but the impact of your action will be just as powerful. Your voice
is essential to ensure that our support is felt more than ever in these
difficult times.

Whether you take part on your own or with others, you can register and find all
of this year's cases, tips and resources here >>
