Today here in this Amnesty International club we are making posters/cards/pictures from Raif Badawi to help him get out of jail since 2012. He's health has gone down due to repetitive flogging.

Today, there is a joint committee hearing on the Trump Administration's Muslim Ban.
Now, is a good time to remind everyone:
Refugees are people, not threats.

This week we have planned a publicity grabbing mural to boost our numbers and a bake sale to raise funds; we have also worked on a card to send to the Saudi embassy demanding women have the right to drive!
Today in Amnesty we kicked off our #WriteforRights campaign- join us next week to help us make our cards and posters, and make a difference to those who are prosecuted for defending human rights!

Let’s change this on #WorldToiletDay 🚽!
Thank you @AmnestyUK for calling online abuse what it is, a Human RIghts violation. It is time for platforms like Twitter to take action!
