Last year, we sent more than 5.9 million letters, emails, tweets and solidarity messages to help convince government officials to release people imprisoned for
expressing their opinion, stop the use of torture, commute death sentences and
end other human rights abuses.
This year, we’re throwing our might behind young people who are firefighting some of the world’s biggest crises. Many have stepped in
where adults have failed, and are facing terrible danger as a result.
One of the cases is here in Canada, of Indigenous youth from Grassy Narrows
First Nation, who are fighting for justice in the face of 50 years of mercury poisoning in
their community.
Watch the video to meet the youth of Grassy Narrows, and sign up for Write for
Rights [[link removed]] to support their struggle for a healthy future.

We hope you'll join us for Amnesty International's biggest event of the year. No
matter how you mark Human Rights Day, thank you for everything you do for human

Sincerely,
The Write for Rights Team
