• Amnesty International

  Amnesty International is a worldwide organization of people around the globe working together to protect the human rights of other people. The Sacred Heart Club has been focusing on Education, Human Rights Awareness and action primarily through Urgent Action Appeals. Students meet together to look at the Amnesty International website and choose an Urgent Action Appeal to focus on for that cycle (week or month). Students then craft their own letter or take a suggested letter from the Amnesty International site. The ultimate aim is to add to the chorus of voices seeking the release of prisoners of conscience, including children who are imprisoned only because of their beliefs, color, gender, ethnicity, or religion and to help end torture and executions that many of these endure.
