Amnesty International USA

Amnesty International is a global movement of millions of people demanding human rights for all people – no matter who they are or where they are. We are the world’s largest grassroots human rights organization. We work to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth, and dignity are denied. Each year during Banned Books Week, Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) draws attention to people around the world who have been imprisoned, threatened, or murdered because of their writing, art, or other published work. In solidarity with organizations across the U.S. and around the world, Amnesty activists work to fight challenges to freedom of expression.
