This Thursday, July 2nd, come join Amnesty Chicago as we participate in a rally with the Iranian community in Chicago. This event will begin with a rally at noon at the Federal Plaza (50 W. Adams), followed by a march to the Turkish Consulate. Amnesty International USA is asking Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei to stop the use of excessive violence in responding to the demonstrations following the recent election. If you are unable to attend the rally/march, but want to urge Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei to stop the violence, you can take action online through the amnesty website.

Post Pride Parade
The interns took on the parade with clipboards in hand to petition for the protection of transgender people in Honduras. The crowd was tackled in groups of two-three interns. Strategy: target groups of people standing around in circles or sitting on the sidewalk. More pictures to come...
