by Write for Rights is Amnesty International’s largest annual letter writing campaign.
For over 20 years, Amnesty International’s Write for Rights campaign has transformed lives by standing up for those whose human rights have been violated. Each year, we unite supporters from around the globe to advocate for those facing injustice.
Leading up to and following International Human Rights Day on December 10th, people from over 200 countries and territories participate in various events, individually or with groups, writing millions of letters, emails, and petitions to advocate for those affected. We pressure governments and leaders to end torture, halt executions, and free unjustly detained individuals.
Many former prisoners and human rights defenders have expressed how our actions have benefited lives and provided hope. Family members also report that the support shown for their loved ones brings comfort in difficult times. See Sasha’s case below, who was featured in our 2022 Write4Rights campaign, here at Herkimer.

Together, we make a difference by securing justice by advocating with and for individuals striving to make positive change and honor the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
