Human rights in elections
Amnesty International USA, as a non-partisan organization, neither supports nor opposes any candidate in any election. Instead, we work to ensure that all candidates elected to office and all voters have the information they need to center human rights. We believe that human rights should be at the forefront of domestic and foreign policy in the United States, regardless of who’s in office.
WHY IT MATTERS
It is important for voters to have the tools to take a stand for human rights during elections because the policies and actions of elected officials have a direct impact on human rights – by understanding the human rights position on various issues, voters can make informed decisions during elections about candidates that align with human rights.
