The book says,
Join others who want to make their lives count for the greater good. One way to find meaning in your life is by devoting time, money, and expertise to the fight for others who have been unjustly imprisoned. Their voices have been silenced.
Amnesty International works hard to expose such human rights abuses. The organization and it's supporters have helped save the lives of thousands of victims from torture and execution at the hands of rogue warlords, armed guerillas and oppressive regimes and governments.
Your help is needed and wanted. Contact Amnesty International to find out how you can help.
Not meaning to change the subject away from the heroin epidemic today, but have you ever heard of Leonard Peltier? Leonard was a member of the American Indian Movement and in 1972 was accused of shooting and killing two FBI Agents at Pine Ridge in self defense and was subsequently convicted. You can read his story by reading about him on wiki Leonard Peltier
Leonard's case is just one of the cases on Amnesty International.
Volunteering is a great way to make a difference. Here locally in Martinsburg we have the Berkeley County Senior Center, the humane society is always seeking volunteers to help out. Whatever your passion you are likely to find a group for that cause.
