Amnesty International Volunteer Group 536-- Adams Morgan, Washington, DC

Amnesty International Volunteer Group 536-- Adams Morgan supports Amnesty Interational USA's vision. We organize events-- such as concerts, protests and vigils-- that raise awareness of human rights violations and inform the public about what can be done to oppose these violations. We also advocate on behalf of prisioners of conscience and other victims of human rights violations at every meeting by participating in Amnesty's ongoing urgent action letter writing campaign.
