Join a Network

Join one of Amnesty’s national networks of individuals who share your interest.

Urgent Action Network: Amnesty International's Urgent Action Network provides an effective and rapid response to urgent situations involving prisoners of conscience, detainees, and other threatened individuals. Functioning much like an emergency room staff in a hospital, members of the Urgent Action Network in 90 countries compose and send telegrams, letters, e-mails, and faxes to many government officials who are in a position to ensure the safety and fair treatment of those whom AI seeks to protect.

Freedom Writers Network: Each month, members of Amnesty International USA's Freedom Writers Network take action on three selected human rights cases. Action by you can help bring about a prisoner's release, secure vital information, launch an investigation, or even save a life. Find out how you can get involved.

Human Rights Educators Network: Amnesty’s Human Rights Education Program provides resource materials as well as training and networking opportunities. All educators, formal, informal, and potential, are invited to join.

Issue Networks

Artists for Amnesty
Artists for Amnesty is a group of committed artists who take action to stop human rights abuses and save lives.

Corporate Action Network (CAN)
CAN members work to protecting activists who defend the environment and indigenous peoples; encourage companies to promote human rights; and support global legal accountability for corporations.

Children's Human Rights Nework
Children are entitled to all the rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but children also need special protection and care. Take action to protect and promote the human rights of children around the world.

Death Penalty Abolition Network
The death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights. Help end the cycle of violence created by a system riddled with economic and racial bias and tainted by human error. Please join us in taking action against the death penalty.

Government Action Network
No government has a greater impact on human rights - for better or worse - than the United States. One of the best ways to ensure security (and peace) in the future is to promote and respect human rights now. As a US citizen, you help ensure that US policy protects human rights.

Interfaith Action Network
Faith communities have long been involved in human rights work, and members of all of the world's major religions are supporters of Amnesty International. In AIUSA's Interfaith Network, people of diverse faiths come together to promote and defend human rights.

Legal Support Network
The Legal Support Network is comprised of lawyers, law students, law professors, judges and paralegals who are dedicated to protecting the human rights of all people and ending human rights violations, particularly those directed at lawyers and law students.

OUTfront E-Action Network
Sign up for the OUTfront E-Action Network and receive email action alerts as soon as they are issued, and be able to take action with the click of your mouse.

Women's Human Rights Action Network
Women can be seen, and finally heard, all over the world: protesting discrimination, speaking out for their rights, and demanding legal protection. AIUSA's Women's Human Rights Action Network works closely with women around the world and in the United States.
