Amnesty International Annual Global Write-a-thon for Human Rights

Herkimer College’s Amnesty International Club is sponsoring an Amnesty International Global Write-4-Rights event on Tuesday, December 1 from noon -2 p.m. in the Robert McLaughlin College Center.

Using the power of the pen, students, staff and the local community will have the opportunity to write letters to authorities on behalf of those who have been unjustly imprisoned for exercising the rights guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, established in 1948.

The purpose of the Amnesty International Club at Herkimer College is to offer the college community the opportunity to learn about and act upon important human rights issues of the day. The club encourages diversity, tolerance and respect for individual differences on a local and global level.
