Amnesty International Global Write-a-Thon in San Diego
Saturday, December 11, 2004 at The Living Room

Sevim Yetkiner


If you live in San Diego, please stop by the Amnesty International Global Write-a-Thon at The Living Room, 5900 El Cajon Blvd. just west of College Avenue on Saturday, December 11, 2004.

Sevim Yetkiner, a human rights defender in Turkey, attributes her swift release from prison to the pressure of the letter writing campaign Amnesty International launched on her behalf.

Join thousands of concerned Amnesty International (AI) members and friends around the world participating in AI's Annual Global Write-a-thon, an international event initiated by activitsts at AI-Poland to commemorate International Human Rights Day (December 10th). Last year, AI activists from over thirty countries wrote letters during the Global Write-a-thon. The letters and postcards you wtite can effect change in the lives of individuals, stop violence against women, and win freedom for Pirsoners of Conscience around the world.

Please come and help our sponseor Hadley Ajana, reach her goal of 200 letters written to and for prisoners of conscience. Letters and postcards will be provided for you to sign, or use her materials to write your own. She'll accept donations for 80 cent stamps, but they are not necesary. Just bring yourself and contribute a few minute of your time.

Hadley Ajana is my daughter. Please come! Perhaps we will see you there.

If you don't live in San Diego or can't come by and still want to participate, visit http://amnestyusa.org/writeathon and learn more.
