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. 

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.
