SEND A MESSAGE OF HOPE THIS SUMMER

Participate in Amnesty International's Summer Postcard Action

For many people, summer is a time for vacations, picnics and recreation. But for prisoners of conscience or those who defend human rights in many countries, summer brings no relief from the potential danger and sense of isolation they may face.

By simply sending a postcard, however, you can help support these brave women and men. By following the links below, you will find information on several cases of concern to Amnesty International. These individuals are on the front lines of the human rights struggle. Please send cards to these individuals and express your support and encouragement.
