GOOD NEWS & UPDATES



John, it's a new year and a new decade, and we're
looking forward to working together with you for human rights in 2020!

Read on for Alex Neve's reflections on how we can put human rights first this
decade. You'll also see reasons for hope for 2020, including a breakthrough in
justice for the murder of Berta Cáceres, Amnesty's court challenge to the
US-Canada Safe Third Country Agreement, and a wave of global support during
Write for Rights for the youth of Grassy Narrows and their fight for a healthy
future.

These moments show the power of our human rights movement, and what we're
capable of when we speak out together against injustices across the world.



Thank you for helping make this change possible, John.
