Amnesty International is having its first meeting of the term tonight at 9 PM in Collis 219. Amnesty is an international non-profit, non-partisan human rights organization. In the past, we have directed activism and awareness events including fundraisers, benefit concerts, and discussions with professors; we have attended demonstrations in New York City and regional conferences in Boston. We have tackled issues including Darfur, Guantanamo Bay, sex trafficking, prisoners of conscience and the death penalty. Typically, our meetings are Monday nights at 8PM, where we plan upcoming events, discuss human rights issues in the news, (or issues that should be in the news,) and write out an urgent action letter. They last about half an hour are completely non-committal. Come hear more about our plans for the term and how you can be a part of them. We'll be discussing: --Awareness events --Fundraisers --TYE-DYE --Human Rights Updates --"Invisible Children" Screening --Co-sponsoring events with other groups --Off-Campus coordination --Urgent Action needed in Gaza We would also love to hear your ideas for events and actions. The effectiveness of our group can only go so far without the open exchange of fresh ideas. --See you there! If you can, BRING YOUR LAPTOP!! 9 PM (usually 8 PM) Collis 219
