INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S NOTE Two human rights defenders in the Democratic Republic of Congo were just freed – thanks in part of the work of Amnesty International USA’s members and supporters.Fred Bauma and Yves Makwambala are members of a pro-democracy youth group who were arrested last year and faced the death penalty, simply because of their nonviolent advocacy. Through Amnesty’s Write for Rights campaign last year, more than 170,000 people sent letters, texts, and emails demanding their release. While they’re finally free today, Amnesty is pressing the government to drop the charges against them entirely. Last year alone, Amnesty International helped secure the freedom of 144 people who were imprisoned unjustly. And we don’t stop there. Amnesty members and supporters are campaigning to change the laws and policies in order to protect people’s human rights – from abortion bans in Ireland and Argentina to the lack of standards and accountability for police use of lethal force in the U.S. and Brazil. Thank you for your activism and your partnership. Margaret Huang Interim Executive Director Amnesty International USA | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

“Without paternalism: free training series for people with experience as refugees: critical sensitization and empowerment workshops in solidarity work“
Dear activists, dear friends and colleagues,
We are from the association (GLOKAL E.V. ). We offer free training
series for up to 15 people with experience as refugees which they can
learn about solidarity work and racism and make critical empowerment and
sensitization about training in the field of fleeing .
the need for trainer in the field of anti-discrimination, refugees and
solidarity work is currently very high. At the same time the labor
access for people with refugees experience is very difficult, so many
people without refugees' experience acting as expert in this topic we
want to change this by giving chance to people with refugees' experience
to this qualification series. The participants get by this learning
access to different educational methods. At the same time we want to
offer a space where they can develop their ideas.
The qualification consists of 5 modules (each 3 days) and take place in
Berlin.
The preliminary program with the contents is annexed. At the first
meeting with the participants it will be discussed, matched, and
extended as required.
The majority of the qualification series will be held in German. If
there is a need we can organize translation into English.
We have some space for people they want to be part and they're from
other cities. We can help to organize travel expenses and overnight.
We especially encourage refugee women to participate in the
qualification series.
That is why we will offer childcare if necessary.
We ask you to forward this email to all the list, networks and possible
interested people.
If you have questions, please write us at the following e-mail

or painemal [at] glokal [dot] org
We look forward to the future participants
