'Write for Rights', Saturday 7 December from 2.00 to 4.30pm

Sandy from Stepneyville

'Write for Rights' is timed to celebrate Human Rights Day on 10 December. This is the world’s biggest human rights event, a moment when Amnesty International’s movement of ten million comes together as one to take action and stand up for freedom, justice and equality.

Collective action pressures authorities around the world to bring those responsible for human rights abuses to justice, and free people wrongfully imprisoned.

We'll be gathering as we do every year, to write letters and send messages of support to victims of human rights abuses around the world.

Venue: Friends Meeting House, 30 Nile St, Nelson.
Date: Saturday 7 December, from 2 to 4.30pm

Please bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Please encourage others concerned about human rights issues to come - all welcome!

RSVP: to Karen du Fresne, Amnesty International Planning Committee Email: kdufresne8@gmail.com by Monday 2 December.
