We do letter writing on behalf of prisoners of conscience and in response to crises. We educate the general public and the university community on human rights. We are activists. We are also lucky to have at our disposal former executive board members of the national AI body, as well as fieldworkers who strive to support and inform local members. What it means to be a member You can attend our meetings without being a member of our group, but most people find that if they are willing to make the commitment to attend meetings, it is worthwhile and rewarding to become a member.
Meetings are usually every two weeks.
The day and time aren't necessarily set - we work around people's schedules a lot. We have a phone and e-mail tree to contact you about the meetings, if you wish. People sign up for when they have a break in classes, sit and eat their lunch, and chat with the people that go by. This is another part of our education work. This group is informal and accommodating, but we do need your help to function effectively.
