Do Amnesty International members do anything besides write letters?
Yes. They can attend training sessions for youth and fieldworkers, participate in fundraising events such as A Taste for Justice; take part in actions such as the Close Guantanamo Days of Action; work on specific campaigns on issues such as the Stolen Sisters campaign; and hold public awareness events such as movie nights with guest speakers. It is up to each local group to decide what direction they want to take within the framework of Amnesty International: a letter-writing circle, which works on urgent action appeals or on a specific country or prisoner’s case, a monthly meeting with a guest speaker, or a rally with street theatre.
