Amnesty International Lethbridge to Join Global Write-a-thon



Lethbridge – Amnesty International Lethbridge will host a community event on International Human Rights Day, encouraging people to come out and write letters to promote human rights. Highlights of the event include local musicians, a raffle, delicious refreshments, and Christmas gifts for sale. They will be joining people from 30 countries around the world who will host their own events.

Amnesty International's write-a-thon is catching the spirit of people everywhere. Last year, thousands of Canadians wrote over 36,000 letters at nearly 1,000 events in schools, community centres, faith institutions, cafes, and living rooms across the country. Participation is free and open to everyone.

Amnesty International's Write-a-thon offers our community a unique opportunity to make a difference in upholding human rights. Members of the media are invited to report on the Write-a-thon.
