>Dear friends from AI USA,
>
>
>We are organising a letter writing marathon in December and
>would like to
>encourage local groups all over the world to join us. It does
>not have to
>be a big effort, the idea is to involve local groups on a scale
>that is
>realistic for them. In order to make it easy for everyone to
>join in, we
>thought we would keep the basic formula simple and flexible.
>There are
>just three things necessary to make this event work:
>
>1. The marathon starts on December 14 at noon local time and we
>keep
>writing letters for 24 hours. We chose this date becuase it is
>the first
>weekend after December 10 (the UDHR anniversary). Letters can
>be written
>by members of AI as well as the public. Of course people can
>just come to
>write one or two letters, they dont have to stay for the whole
>24 hours.
>
>2. Letters will only be written in response to Amnesty cases
>(UA, Action
>Files, RANS, etc) but it is up to the local group to decide
>which cases to
>choose.
>
>3. After the event we all provide feedback on how many letters
>were
>written and on what cases.
>
>We also hope to be able to use Internet CHAT to communicate
>during the
>event and to create a website for the marathon so everybody can
>get news
>updated on hourly basis.
>
>The groups from Caribbean Region (Barbados), Italy, Japan
>(Hiroshima),
>Mongolia, South Africa (Cape Town, Durban, individual members
>from
>North-West), Ukraine (Lviv, Sevastopol), USA (Somerville, MA,
>Boston, MA) &
>Poland (Gdynia, Gdansk, Krakow, Lublin, Lodz, Miedzeszyn,
>Poznan, Warszawa,
>Wroclaw)  have already decided to join the action. The AI
>activists from
>Asia-Pacific Region, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia,
>Germany, Greece,
>Holand, Hungary, Russia, Slovakia and Sweden are also
>interested in this
>project.
>
>Please join us! It does not take much effort and it is a
>fantastic way of
>doing something together!
>
>Please forward this message to other Amnesty activists, AI
>discussion lists,
>etc.
