ACTIVISM @ AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IRELAND present
“From the bottom of my heart, this campaign has kept me alive, it’s what has stopped them from killing me because they know that you are there.”
Jani Silva, Environmental defender, 2021
Every year, victims of injustice around the world are liberated because people like you add your voice to a multitude and create effective protest. Come and learn about people around the world who are in prison right now, just for peacefully protesting. Write a letter – to change their lives.
Each day, the space will be open for you to drop in when it suits and sit and write a letter. We’ll have information on all the people facing injustice for peacefully protesting. We’ll have paper and pens and envelopes, you can write as many letters as you want, you can stay for as long or as little time as you like. You can have a chat with us or we can leave you alone. As well as writing to the authorities, you can write directly to the people facing injustice. Your solidarity will mean the world to them. We’ll be there to talk you through it.
If you can’t make it in, please do take action online: Write for Rights 2022 – Amnesty International Ireland
