"Better to light a candle than curse the darkness"

Amnesty International is the oldest and largest grassroots human rights organization in the world. Meetings are held biweekly and discussion topics vary. We are focused on promoting discussion and involvement.

We will be focusing on current events at each meeting and looking for action items to take a grassroots approach towards helping. All are welcome.

Amnesty International is an independent, worldwide movement working impartially for the release of prisoners of conscience; those people detained because of their beliefs, race, sex, ethnic origin, language, or religion 􏰍who have neither used nor advocated violence; fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners; and an end to torture and execution in all cases. Amnesty International is independent of any political, ideological, or religious affiliation and is funded by donations from its members and supporters around the world.
