Write A Letter.
Change A Life.

Now through December 31, 2017

You can help change the lives of this year’s 10 cases by writing letters. When combined with millions of others, your letters help convince government officials to free prisoners of conscience, support human rights defenders, and end other urgent cases of abuse. Together, we can change lives and change our world.

What Is Write For Rights?

Every year, to mark Human Rights Day on December 10th, hundreds of thousands of people around the world write letters and sign online petitions to help people they've never met. Letter writing has always been at the core of Amnesty's work, and 55 years of human rights activism show that your letters really do have the power to change lives.
