[[link removed]]Dear John,
Every year, around December 10th (Human Rights Day), people across the globe act
together for the world's biggest human rights event: Write for Rights. Together
we send millions of letters, emails and tweets in solidarity with people whose
human rights have been denied.
When we all act together, we are more powerful. We know this because, every
year, we change lives.
Will you help change a life with Write for Rights on December 10th?

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. People like:
* Nassima al-Sada , in prison for defending women’s rights in Saudi Arabia
* Gustavo Gatica , who was shot and blinded by police for protesting in Chile
* Jani Silva , who risks her life every day to protect the Amazon in Colombia
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 >>
