The Murfreesboro Amnesty International Meetup

This is a grassroots meetup of Amnesty International supporters and members. We hope to start as a meetup and then charter as an official local group of Amnesty International USA.Anyone who has an interest in human rights issues are welcome. Amnesty International focuses on five key issues: Women's Rights, Children's Rights, Ending Torture and Execution, Rights of Refugees and Rights of Prisoners of ConscienceIn addition AI takes actions on genocide such as the genocide in Darfur, and extreme poverty as well as numerous other human rights issues. 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.
