We are experts at pivoting to address new situations as they arise and at taking advantage of potential avenues for change. We can engage in this crucial work because of you.
Your dedication to defending human rights and standing up for justice has been the driving force behind our achievements this year.
Our collective efforts have made significant strides in:
- Protecting Refugees and Asylum Seekers:Â With your help, we have successfully advocated for the protection of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers, ensuring they receive the safety and dignity they deserve.
- Combating Injustice and Inequality:Â Your support has enabled us to launch critical campaigns addressing systemic racism, gender inequality, and LGBTQ+ rights, fostering a more just and equitable society.
- Defending Freedom of Expression:Â Together, we have defended the rights of journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens to speak out without fear of persecution, shining a light on injustices worldwide.
- Ending the Death Penalty:Â Our ongoing efforts to abolish the death penalty have gained momentum, with several states taking significant steps toward ending this inhumane practice.
Additionally, your support has empowered us to:
- Expand our global reach:Â We have established new offices in key regions, allowing us to better address human rights crises and advocate for change on a larger scale.
- Strengthen our digital advocacy:Â We have invested in cutting-edge technology to mobilize supporters, amplify our message, and hold powerful institutions accountable.
