Be Superheroes and Fight Injustice With Your Writing

My writing is my super power.

I don't have a fancy cape and a cool secret identity, but I do have an internet connection and like to think I write faster than a speeding bullet. I'd love to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but I doubt that's happening any time soon. *smirk* Instead, I use my writing to fight injustice, something we all can do.

Amnesty International is a human rights organization with chapters around the world fighting injustice, crimes against humanity, corrupt government, and censorship. 

It only takes a moment to send a letter. Snail mail is an effective option because a large volume of letters is not easy to ignore, but email campaigns are successful too. Amnesty International has a searchable database by country and cause, which is easy to use. They have a variety of letter writing campaigns, so everyone can find a cause that speaks to them.

As a writer, I value free speech.

If people do not have the power to question and criticize government institutions, they lose the power to live in a society where human rights and freedom prevail.

Prisoner of conscience, Nabeel Rajab, was interrogated by the Terrorism Prosecution in relation to comments posted on Instagram and Twitter accounts running in his name on September 12, 2017.

He faces new charges of “inciting hatred against the regime” in Bahrain. There also concerns for his safety after the National Security Agency questioned him. Please join me in this letter writing campaign by November 3, 2017. Click here for information to participate in this and other campaigns. Participants do not need to reside in the USA; anybody can write a letter for any campaign around the world.
