Dear John,

Hi, I’m Serisha, Amnesty International’s Youth Fellow in Canada. I’ve never written to you before, but I’m excited to get the chance to connect with you today.

Young people around the world disproportionately face violence and persecution. John, we’re also the changemakers — the ones leading the charge against repression, systemic racism, and climate injustice, working together for a better world.

 

So, my goal as an Amnesty Fellow is to create more programming for young people and engage them more deeply in Amnesty’s work.

I’m excited to advocate for radical change alongside you, John, as we work to centre young people in our shared mission and advance our diverse perspectives, ideas and concerns.

But all of my work at Amnesty depends on funding from generous supporters like you. I can’t do it without your support.

If you believe in justice, in humanity, and in the power of youth to push for change — will you donate what you can right now?

Donate now

Your support helps fund important projects like The Youth Portal — a project I was able to implement to help youth activists from across Canada connect, share, and mobilize with one another.

Will you click here to help me engage and support more youth with Amnesty Canada? Please donate now.

Yes! I believe in the power of youth


With gratitude,

Serisha Iyar
