The TUC is the national trade union centre in Great Britain, with 6 million members in our 54 affiliated trade unions. We are part of the global trade union movement, principally the International Trade Union Confederation, which has 175 million members in 164 countries. We campaign for trade union and other human rights, and have a memorandum of understanding with Amnesty International.

I'm the Director of Amnesty International USA's Death Penalty abolition campaign, supporting activists across the US with their campaigning. Before I moved to DC, I was a founding member of the Austin, Texas chapter of Amnesty International USA. You'll find more of my blogs at Amnesty USA's Human Rights Now blog, and I tweet on the death penalty at @BRCEvans

I'm the Scotland Programme Director, and before I joined Amnesty I've spent 20 years in education, social care and health services, looking at service delivery with a strong rights focus.

I'm Richard and I work in the Community Fundraising Team at Amnesty UK as the Co-ordinator responsible for activst fundraising. I've worked for Amnesty as either a volunteer or a member of staff for nearly two years now and I love it! My job means I have daily contact with activists of all ages and backgrounds and they never fail to amaze and inspire me.
