Human Rights Day is one week away! Here's how you can take part. | View in browser.

Dear John,

We are one week away from International Human Rights Day, December 10th, and the world's biggest human rights event: Write for Rights!

It’s a powerful moment when Amnesty International’s movement comes together to take action for freedom, justice and equality. Every year, people tweet, type, draw or write messages in support of individuals and communities whose human rights have been denied, unleashing a global wave of solidarity.

We hope you can join us for this special occasion. Whether you have a few minutes or a full day, there are many ways you can take part on your own, with others in your community, or with other supporters across the country!

JOIN THE NATIONAL VIRTUAL MARATHON
December 10th: 12:00-8:30 pm EST

Join us for a Canada-wide, jam-packed day of Write for Rights activities! Drop in at any point to take part in our letter-writing marathon, updates from across Canada and the world, and to learn about this year's cases.

From 7:30-8:30 pm EST, we'll finish the day with “In Conversation with Ketty Nivyabandi and Alex Neve,” a virtual fireside chat with Adrian Harewood, co-host of CBC News Ottawa.

RSVP for the National Virtual Marathon here >>

JOIN A LOCAL EVENT OR WRITE ON YOUR OWN

There are more than 150 Write for Rights local events happening across Canada between now and mid-December! Organizers are hosting a mix of virtual, household and socially distanced events.

However you mark International Human Rights Day this year, thank you so much for everything you do for human rights every day.

In hope & solidarity,

Ketty Nivyabandi & Alex Neve
Current & Former Secretaries General
Amnesty International Canada
