- Do More
- Amnesty International is a grassroots movement. Much of our work is done
by volunteers. Many of AI's volunteer activists belong to networks that
focus on specific issues, such as LGBT rights, women's human rights or
human rights and the environment. Others are members of professional networks,
including networks for lawyers, health professionals and educators. Volunteers
also participate in nearly all of AIUSA's steering committees and task
forces.
