Go There and Read - Amnesty International USA

This Thursday, May 15, is the day chosen by Amnesty International and Bloggers to highlight the struggle for Human Rights. The press release reports this is a world-wide effort.

From the press release;

"BlogCatalog.com partners with Amnesty International for Bloggers Unite For Human Rights

...The campaign, Bloggers Unite For Human Rights, asks bloggers from all over the world to post about human rights on the same day, May 15. Collectively, their posts will reach millions of people all over the world at the same time, even in those countries where freedom of expression is regularly suppressed."

The efforts cover everything from China to children. Stories that should not have to be headlined. Abuses of basic human dignities that most of us take for granted. Children forced to join militia forces in Congo are jailed in deplorable conditions because they ran away to join a demobilization program. People in China are being ruled by a repressive government that supports the suppression of online speech. Stuff that we barely give thought to on a daily basis.

Read the stories. Roam the site. Take action where you can.
