29,369 taken. Help us reach 32,000

Devastating air strikes, led by Saudi Arabia, have killed thousands of women, men and children, and destroyed homes, schools and hospitals across Yemen. Meanwhile, the UK government has been providing weapons to those committing these horrific war crimes. The United States has now decided to halt some of its arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Boris Johnson has raised ‘profound concern’ at the suffering of Yemeni people. He has the power to ensure the UK is not complicit in killing civilians – call on him to end these arms sales.

We are ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.

Our calls to Obama

Free Chelsea Manning

President Obama has just weeks left in office. That's just weeks left to free whistle blower, Chelsea Manning. It's time. Email him now to commute her sentence.

Email Obama

Pardon Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden is a hero, not a traitor. He should not be punished for blowing the whistle on human rights abuses. President Obama has the power to pardon him. But he's running out of time.
