Upcoming Event: Jan. 3, 2026 - Write for Rights, Dr. Safiya, & 'Eight Families in Gaza'

Amnesty International's Local Group 270 hosts their annual 'Write for Rights' at the Bellingham Central Library Lecture Room on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026 from 2:00 - 4:00pm, and they are inviting us to join us in taking action, along with hundreds of thousands worldwide, calling for the release of prisoners of conscience, supporting human rights defenders in need, and seeking justice for human rights abuses. 

There are nine cases from around the world, along with several Urgent Actions, and there will be information about these actions, in addition to a screening of the Fault Lines documentary, The Disappearance of Dr. Abu Safiya, and information about Amnesty International actions and writing in support of his release. They have also kindly invited me to table and host letter-writing on behalf of the families in Gaza whose voices I have been trying to amplify. The event is free and open to the public, and I hope to see you there.
