Amnesty NH - Local Groups
are made up of community-based volunteers who work as a
team for the promotion of human rights. We write letters, circulate petitions, and table at public events. We are
the representatives of Amnesty International in our communities. We work with local media, lobby public officials, produce
events, work in coalition with other organizations, and raise money for AIUSA. We work on AI’s human rights campaigns,
and also often adopt individual prisoners of conscience.
Amnesty International (AI)
is a worldwide, voluntary movement of people who campaign for human rights.
Our vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all the human
rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international standards.
Our mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing
and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression and freedom from
discrimination, within the context of our work to promote all human rights.
