Sign up for SHARE POWER – Take the Campaign Pledge

For SHARE POWER to be truly effective, we will need to use a variety of campaigning techniques. It cannot be over-emphasized how important it is to keep year-round, increasing pressure on our target companies – these are some of the most powerful multinationals in the world, so we can't let our pressure fade! Though the heads of companies can sometimes be persuaded to change by direct pressure, Amnesty believes that approaching them indirectly, through our connection to powerful shareholders, has great potential for impact. Businesses are run according to their bottom line, and that means when big investors speak, companies listen!

From September 2006 to May 2007 Amnesty’s SHARE POWER Campaign will raise awareness across the country about the human rights abuses by these companies and collect and deliver thousands of letters directly to the leadership of Chevron, Dow and Yahoo, demanding that they address our concerns. Alongside this, we will work to ensure that large shareholders invested in these companies use their power to press for change. Depending on your schedule, there are two levels of SHARE POWER you can sign up for. Cick the appropriate box below and we’ll be in touch with you soon to help you get your campaign started!
