Sat 12/11 @ noon – 4PM
Demand human rights while you shop for books. On Sat 12/11, Mac’s Backs hosts Write for Rights, an event where you stop in & write letters demanding respect for the rights of all people.
Read on:
Each year hundreds of thousands of people across the world mark International Human Rights Day on December 10 by taking part in Amnesty International’s Write for Rights Global Write-a-thon — the world’s largest and most powerful letter writing event. We write letters to demand that the rights of individuals are respected, protected and fulfilled.
Last year, more than 12,000 people across the United States sent letters on behalf of people who were living with the daily threat of human rights violations.
This year Mac’s is hosting the Write-a-Thon on Saturday, December 11th. Please stop by between 12-4 p.m. and write a letter or two in support of people like prisoner of conscience Mao Hengfeng in China, human rights defender Norma Cruz in Guatamala, student activist Majid Tavakkoli in Iran, US death row prisoner Reggie Clemons and many others.
Cleveland’s Interreligious Task Force (IRTF) will be on-hand selling fair trade goods. Plus, hot cider and baked goods for all.
