Make Your Mouse Roar for Human Rights
Save lives. Meet other dedicated persons. human rights, activism, Amnesty International
Don’t just click your mouse. Make it roar! Make it roar to demand freedom for Taner Kiliç and his fellow human rights defenders in Turkey. Make it roar to protest the wanton killing of Shackelia’s brother by Jamaican police. Make it roar in outrage over the life sentence meted out to Mahadine for exposing Chadian government corruption on his Facebook page.
Amnesty International is calling on you to celebrate Human Rights Day, December 10, by participating in its annual Write for Rights campaign. With a roar of your mouse you can defend individuals jailed or persecuted for doing nothing more than peacefully expressing their opinions. Visit the Write for Rights page now. Learn about this year’s human rights cases and then make that mouse of yours roar. These appeals, sent by ordinary
people just like you, let governments know that the world is watching and demanding justice. And these appeals really work! Just listen to Moses Akatugba of Nigeria, 2014 Write for Rights Case, now free:
“I am overwhelmed. I thank Amnesty International and their
activists for the great support that made me a conqueror in this
situation. Amnesty International members and activists are my Heroes.”

We meet the third Wednesday of the month at 7:30pm, in the café area of Wegmans, 50 Foundry Way, Malvern, PA (at Rt. 29). (NOTE: In December, instead of holding our usual meeting at the cafe in Wegmans, we'll be gathering at the home of one of our members. Newcomers are welcome! Contact Barbara Quintiliano for date, time and location.) Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Or roar out a question to social media coordinator Barbara Quintiliano.
