Come join us in Denver, Colorado for our annual human rights conference from Friday, March 30 to Sunday, April 1! We are really excited to host this year's conference in the Mile High City! Amidst the backdrop of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, Amnesty International supporters and human rights activists from across the country will unite and immerse themselves in the crucial human rights issues of the day. The theme of this year's human rights conference is Rise up for Rights and will be reflected throughout our three-day conference as we focus on the power of rising up and facing social injustices, both individually and collectively, to inspire change around the world.
The conference begins on Friday, March 30 at the Denver Marriott City Center. Be sure to arrive by 2:00pm to Rise up for Rights and take part in the AIUSA Rally! AIUSA will then kick off this amazing weekend with Opening Ceremonies at 6:00pm in the presence of leading human rights leaders from around the world. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about AIUSA and join the Resolution Committee as it discusses the resolution process over cheesecake Friday night. Saturday begins with an inspirational keynote address, followed by an engaging Movement Building plenary, Rising Up: Demanding our rights, claim our future! featuring prominent international human rights leaders who will discuss how you can Rise Up and become a key player in the international human rights movement. Later, you can attend a variety of program sessions and learn more about AIUSA's campaigns, as notable members of the human rights community come together to deliver important messages. You are sure to leave these sessions empowered to take action!
These sessions include Security with Human Right's How to Stop 10 More Years of Guantanamo and the Death Penalty Abolition session From Troy Davis to Reggie Clemons to Abolition. Take advantage of the many opportunities to socialize and network with fellow human rights activists throughout the conference by going to events like the Saturday Night Social.
