All across the world, people are standing up for their rights: brave human rights defenders in Iran, France, the U.S., and beyond.Amnesty staff and members have been hard at work: speaking out to end the death penalty, demanding safe haven for refugees and asylum-seekers, and ensuring war crimes in Ukraine are meticulously documented. These are just a few of the big steps forward, made possible because of your support! So please keep up the momentum by taking the below action by sending the below letter and make a phone call to your senator today; https://act.amnestyusa.org/page/66409/action/1?val Then call your Senator at 1-202-224-3121 Here is the recommended script. You can paraphrase, but please be polite; "Please also support the Break the Cycle of Violence Act (S.2275) which provides funding for community violence intervention programs and job training programs for young people." Thank you and please stay safe! ___________________________________ Call now to ban deadly weapons! PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS; Sen. John Cornyn: 202-224-2934 Sen. Ted Cruz: 202-224-5922 You can paraphrase into your own words (brevity is always good!) but please be polite! "As your constituent, I ask that you urgently support the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 (S736). Assault weapons were designed to kill and maim as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, and yet there is currently no federal law regulating them. Gun violence in the U.S. is already a human rights crisis. The least we can do is to stop the most deadly weapons -- and the ammunition that acts as a force-multiplier -- from being easily accessible. On behalf of our state and community, please vote ‘yes’ on the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 and ensure that this legislation is brought to the floor." _____________________________________________________ Amnesty International-Bay Area (Houston): ”Human Trafficking in Houston”.
