Today ist Human Rights Day. It commemorates the day when in 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Amnesty International invites everyone to mark the Human Rights Day by taking part in “Write for Rights”, Amnesty International’s global letter writing marathon. Here’s from Amnesty International:
“This year, we are writing letters, sending SMS messages, taking action online as well as hosting and participating in a variety of events to demand that the rights of individuals are upheld. If you would like to get involved you can write a letter, send an email or SMS, attend an event, or create your own event. To find out more about events and SMS actions, visit your local Amnesty International section website.“
