Drawing Room ANNEX: Write for Rights with AIUSA RASOTA & Group 30

The Drawing Room is hosting Amnesty International’s annual Write for Rights, for a community gathering where we will write letters to help convince government officials to release people who have been arbitrarily imprisoned, support brave human rights defenders, stop torture, commute death sentences, and end other human rights abuses.

We will also write Solidarity cards with messages of hope to the human rights defenders or their family members, letting them know they are not alone and that we are here, supporting them.

Write For Rights (W4R) is Amnesty International’s largest annual letter-writing campaign. People all around the world write hundreds of thousands of letters on behalf of individuals in urgent need of help.

Through collective grassroots action, you can help persuade government officials to free individuals unjustly imprisoned and demand justice for past human rights abuses.

Over the past 24 years, more than 50 million actions have been taken, and over 100 people featured in the campaign have seen a positive outcome in their case.

Please bring your family and friends, and your artivist spirit! You can draw the solidarity postcards or bring a few San Francisco or nature-scape postcards and join in this important campaign!

Drawing materials for solidarity cards, pens, paper, envelopes, and template letters and stamps will be provided! All ages welcome!

Make your voice heard and contribute to positive change in the world! Mark your calendars for January 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM (Pacific Time) and be a part of this inspiring event.
Your words can truly change a life!
