World Amnesty International Happy New Year and thank you‏

	Dear friends, Thank you for being a part of Amnesty. All of the activist organizing and generous donations from this year will help Amnesty reach more people, apply more pressure and win more human rights victories in 2016. You give hope to every person Amnesty’s work touches: The student activist Phyoe Phyoe Aung, who has been harassed, jailed and thrown into solitary confinement for speaking out against authorities in Myanmar. The Syrian mother who has fled war only to find razor-wire fences, riot police and closed borders when she reaches Europe. Samar Badawi, the wife of imprisoned human rights lawyer Waleed Abu Al-Khair, who is praying for her husband’s safe release from a notorious jail in Saudi Arabia. These are the people whose lives you will touch. As part of our December campaign we challenged you and other supporters with a fundraising match, and I'm thrilled to report that we raised over $2,000,000 to stop human rights abuses in 2016. We would never be as impactful worldwide without your activism and support. Thank you. Sincerely, Margaret Huang CHIEF OF STAFF AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL USA   P.S. I'm excited to announce that our annual Human Rights Conference will be taking place in Miami, FL from April 1-3, 2016. We'll keep you posted and we hope to see you there.
