Amnesty International at the George Washington University

Amnesty International at the George Washington University is a student-led chapter of Amnesty International working to educate the GW community about human rights violations around the world, and to take action to prevent and end them. We do this by not only bringing in human rights activists, professionals, and academic figures to campus to speak to students and engage them on critical human righ

ts issues, but also through actions such as letter writing, protesting, lobbying, and launching university-wide campaigns. As both students and activists, our goal is to foster a community of dynamic activism and create a conversation on campus about human rights in the world today, and how we, as students, may help create a better tomorrow. We advocate for human rights for all and the protection of justice, freedom, truth, and dignity around the world. Join us: we hold meetings every other Tuesday at 8 PM in the Marvin Center (room 413).
