How activism makes a difference
Activism is at the heart of Amnesty UK. By joining our activist network you become part of a powerful community standing up for human rights, challenging injustice, and making change happen locally and globally.
Whether you’re new to activism or an experienced campaigner, joining an Activism Group means collaborating with like-minded people to:
- Campaign on human rights issues in your community
- Fundraise to support Amnesty’s work
- Raise awareness through events, stalls, and local outreach
- Advocate for individuals at risk
- Lobby MPs to defend rights and freedoms
Groups also come together nationally at Amnesty’s Annual Conference and AGM, ensuring local voices shape the direction of our movement.
You can also join Amnesty UK's specialist networks and projects focused on Trade Unions, gender rights, gender identity and sexuality, children’s human rights, anti-racism, disabled people's human rights and the death penalty.
Our networks are activist led, bringing together experience and expertise from across the Amnesty movement to campaign for human rights change in their areas of focus.
