On October 16th and 17th, Tufts Amnesty International hosted, AmnesTEA, an event organized to promote Amnesty USA’s “Write for Rights Campaign.” The idea behind AmnesTea is simple: get some people together, put the kettle on and raise money for Amnesty International’s human rights work around the world. The main purpose of the event is to promote awareness of current Human Rights Issues by having people sign petitions to their local government to initiate change.
Tufts AI members selected four cases to spotlight for the event and had visitors sign letters to send to governments accused of human rights violations. In exchange, Amnesty handed out teabags from a local teashop in Davis Square, MEMTea.
