Dear John,
Some people say there are two kinds of people in the world: the optimists and the pessimists.
In a world facing multiple crises — a global pandemic, runaway climate change, division and harrowing levels of conflict — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
But this year John, you acted with hope, resilience and determination to demand justice, expose abuse, and defend human rights.
Your belief in a better world and your commitment to push for it, no matter the odds, is what makes this community different. And this year, we need believers like you more than ever before.
John, with Giving Tuesday just around the corner, a generous donor has agreed to match all gifts made by anyone wanting to beat the rush and give before Giving Tuesday, to make sure we have the resources to continue building a better world together.
That means if you donate now, you can double your impact. Can you help us reach our $25k fundraising goal by donating $3 right now before the Tuesday deadline? If all of us reading this right now donated just the price of a take-out coffee, we could hit our goal in no-time.
Amnesty International Canada doesn’t accept funding from governments. It’s why we’re able to defend human rights wherever they’re at risk, stop abuse no matter the perpetrator, and bring human rights violators to justice.
When thousands of us come together, we are an unstoppable movement that can change the world.
Our collective power, and the enthusiasm and passion you bring to this work forces the release of human rights defenders from wrongful imprisonment. It unlocks critical human rights reforms. And it gives hope to millions of people working for justice in all corners of the world.
And it’s all because of people like you taking action, John.
In a season full of uncertainty, when we all need something to believe in, believe in the power of us together — and donate to help us meet our Giving Tuesday goal. Every dollar you donate right now will be matched by a generous supporter to help YOU keep fighting for a better, more just world alongside Amnesty International.

With gratitude,
