August 2016 (Leonard Peltier case and updating Group Casework Manual)

In August, our Monthly membership call focused on one of Amnesty’s priority cases, that of Leonard Peltier. We also explored several sections of the dormant Group Casework Manual and how they could be used to address Leonard’s case. Several of our members are currently working to revitalize and update this valuable group tool – – a two-year project.

Speakers included:

• Zeke Johnson – Managing Director, Individuals at Risk
• Ken Mayers – Country Specialist, Libya and Tunisia
• Hilary Naylor – Membership Empowerment Training Project Working Group
• Allison Reilly – Member Group 105
