Amnesty International's Double donations end Sunday

	Double donations end Sunday Dear KDTN Radio One, All this month, artists and human rights activists like me have proudly raised our voices to defend human rights with Amnesty International. Now, it's your turn. Sunday is your last chance to double your gift.Please join me by becoming a member of Amnesty International right now. Your gift matters – collective action releases people from prison, torture and execution: "I don't regret a single moment. I celebrate the work that I do and the people I work with...We are in it together." That's Jenni Williams, the inspiring co-founder of Women and Men of Zimbabwe Arise. She's been arrested 43 times and been beaten severely for defending human rights in her country. Jenni credits Amnesty International members with saving her life multiple times. Jenni is right – we're in this together to shine a bright light on the horrific acts of violence committed by Syrian security forces against their own people, in the hopeswe can help end the atrocities. We're in this to fervently declare love a right, not a wrong, and work to overturn the discriminatory "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA). We're wholeheartedly taking part in this because we refuse to yield to oppression and to hate, and we will not let slip our hard-fought gains. With the world facing unprecedented assaults on human rights, Amnesty's mission is more relevant and urgent than ever. Your membership today will help Amnesty rise to these challenges. Join us. Very truly yours, Joan Baez MUSICIAN, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST P.S. Amnesty is so close to meeting its goal of inspiring 50,000 gifts this month. Donate before midnight on Sunday and a generous donor will automatically double your gift.
