The Ithaca Amnesty group is a chapter of the US section of Amnesty International. AI is the largest grassroots organization in the world dedicated to ending human rights violations. We are nonpartisan, nonsectarian and do not take any money from governments. The organization won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for its work on behalf of freeing Prisoners of Conscience.
The Ithaca Amnesty group has worked since the early 1970s, combating human rights violations around the world. We have dozens of members who work in our monthly meetings, at the Kahin Center, 660 Stewart Avenue. Map is available here. We meet on the third Tuesdays of every month, starting at 7:30p. For more information, please contact Jackie Swift or Charlotte Acharya.

Friends, I am sending via Jackie, Charlotte, and Wayles notice of a staged reading of Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom 7:00 p.m. on Dec. 1 & 2 at GIAC downtown. We would like to invite you to table at the performances, and we are requesting a small ($150) donation to help us with the production. I hope you will discuss and vote on this at the Tuesday meeting. I cannot come in person to the meeting because we are in rehearsal at the time. I hope the request for funding I’m sending will be sufficient. Please call me if I can clarify anything further, after you read the request. Many thanks for all you do.

Dear AI,
Is this local chapter still a working chapter? I live in Syracuse and this is my closest chapter.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
