Take Action

Making a Difference

There are many organizations working for positive social change at a local and international level. Taking effective action can be as simple as sitting down and writing a letter. Your voice can help make a difference right here at home or across the globe. The following websites provide letter writing actions on current human rights cases:

“I count the number of times you have saved my life and made our work possible”

- Wangari Maathai, leader of Kenya’s Greenbelt Movement and winner of the 2004 Nobel peace Prize. Amnesty International’s urgent Action Network took action on her behalf on five separate occasions.
