Life is an adventure and we're all our own tour guide. Just trying to make the most of the trip! Grants Administrator @mfbn and Legislative Coord. @amnestyusa
No matter where your lawmakers stand, now is the time to make your voice heard. Today, every email, call and shared story helps make public support for restoring funding for local public media stations impossible to ignore. Act now: https://t.co/D068gfTdnK #RisingforLocalStations
Today is Amnesty International's 65th anniversary. For 65 years, we've been documenting and exposing abuses, bringing violators to justice, freeing human rights defenders in prison.
Families caught in armed conflict. Refugees forced from their homes, tortured in prisons. Journalists jailed—or even killed—for doing their jobs. Children and parents wondering if they will survive another night.
Our work is not just about exposing human rights abuses. It is about doing something about it.

@TulsiGabbard@ODNIgov I am deeply sorry about your husband and wish him a speedy recovery, @TulsiGabbard. As for you, BYEEEE and good riddance. May your conscience someday get the best of you.
For Palestinians, everyday is Nakba Day. For 78 years, Israel has denied Palestinians their right to return home - violating international law and UN resolutions. Dispossession, displacement, and fragmentation continue to define Palestinian lives.
As we mark World Press Freedom Day today, journalists in the U.S. have increasingly been intimidated, harassed and targeted by the Trump administration. The erosion of press freedom is a warning sign – one that signals a frightening slide towards authoritarian practices.
One example of press repression in the United States: the arrest of journalist Georgia Fort. (1/6)
Israel continues to destroy civilian infrastructure as shown in this video, which captures the Israeli army destroying solar panels in southern Lebanon.
Amnesty International has previously documented extensive destruction by the Israeli military along Lebanon’s border before and after the November 2024 ceasefire. We called for reparations and the investigation into this for war crimes. So far, neither has appeared.
Since the more recent 2026 “ceasefire”, civilians in southern Lebanon’s border villages, many of whom are displaced, are continuing to witness their homes, land, and infrastructure destroyed.
Israel must stop the unlawful destruction of civilian property across southern Lebanon.
This is a pivotal moment in human rights history. Rights are under attack around the world. But attacks on rights don’t have to win. From youth uprisings in Nepal, to dockworkers stopping arms shipments in Europe, to climate defenders and women winning rights – resistance is rising. We won’t back down. #HumanityMustWin
Earth Day is a day to remember that climate change transcends borders and affects everyone, everywhere. And that it is often those least responsible who are the hardest hit.
Global cooperation is essential to tackle the crisis and protect vulnerable communities from climate harms like rising sea-levels, food scarcity, wildfires, extreme storms and floods, and lack of access to safe drinking water. To cede ground now risks our collective future. Humanity must win. #EarthDay
We are deeply alarmed at the U.S. Justice Department’s targeting of @splcenter, a critically important organization in the civil rights movement of this country. At a time of major rollbacks on human rights and racial justice, we must all speak out in support of organizations working to fight hate, discrimination and extremism. AIUSA is committed to defending civil society's ability to do this important work without fear of reprisal.

Fans, journalists and others traveling to the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup risk encountering a deeply troubling human rights landscape.
If the U.S. government and host cities cannot guarantee the rights and safety of all, this tournament risks falling far short of FIFA’s promise of a safe, welcoming, and inclusive event.

THANK YOU @SenSanders@ChrisVanHollen@SenJeffMerkley@SenPeterWelch for your leadership to prevent U.S. arms and equipment from being used by Israel to commit war crimes, genocide, and other violations of international law. Amnesty International has repeatedly provided extensive evidence that Israeli forces have carried out violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in the region. Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza continues, as does its attacks on civilians in Lebanon.
The death toll from these illegal and unconscionable attacks is now 174. Act now! Ask Congress to rein in the Trump administration's lawless murder spree
https://t.co/XTRxBlVfOf
With the latest attack, a total of 168 people have been killed. This murder spree is unconscionable and illegal.
Demand Congress do more to rein in this administration's lawless actions.
Act now! https://t.co/XTRxBlVfOf
President Donald Trump’s apocalyptic warning that Iran's “whole civilization will die tonight” is a threat to commit war crimes and may constitute a threat to commit genocide.
The international community must take urgent action to avert an impending catastrophe.
Voting rights are human rights.
Voting rights are human rights.
Voting rights are human rights.
Voting rights are human rights.
Voting rights are human rights.
At a time when anti-rights movements and predatory governments push their regressive vision of the world, built on division, hatred, and inequality, we speak out with and for each other.
Now more than ever.
Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️⚧️
