Dear John,
This will only take one minute of your time, but your impact will be tenfold!
These young people have been attacked, harassed, and jailed. You can sign your name right now to show your immediate support!
Yasaman is in prison in Iran for defying her country’s government’s forced veiling laws. José Adrián was brutally beaten by police on his way home from school in Mexico. Sarah and Seán face up to 25 years in prison in Greece for their humanitarian work with refugee boats in distress.
These are just a few of the young people who are featured as part of Write for Rights, the world’s largest grassroots human rights letter-writing campaign — which this year, champions the rights of youth around the world.
We know this works. Not only does this massive advocacy campaign help to free prisoners of conscience and resolve other cases — but it is a powerful and emotional way for us to show our support to people who are facing human rights violations.
That’s why we’re bringing this grassroots letter-writing campaign to you online — so you can easily take online action to help 10 cases of young people, with one click!
We’ll deliver a letter to each government responsible — with the total number of signatures — so that they can see the strong public support for each of these young people.
Our goal is to get 10,000 people — passionate supporters like you — to take action before the end of this month. (Even if you’ve already written Write for Rights letters with a pen and paper, you can also sign this online petition!)
It’s simple: The more actions we generate, the more likely we are to positively impact the lives of these young people who need our help. Please add your name today!
Thank you for everything you do!
