The Amnesty Mission
Amnesty International is a globally acclaimed organization that helps to protect the basic human rights of people all over the world through campaigns, donations, and volunteer work. Amnesty international is a self-governed organization that neither supports nor opposes any one political policy or political leader. Rather it strives to maintain a vision of rights as written in the Universal Declaration for Human Rights. Amnesty International sponsors a number of issues at a time for the advocation of human rights. In our club, one issue will be chosen at a time based on the interests and support of the majority of the members in the Uni Amnesty. The issue will be publicized and promoted for a number of weeks through low to high level campaigning tactics with an emphasis on donating to our cause. All donations received through campaigning and publicizing efforts will be sent to the Amnesty International donation center for our specific cause.

Members of Uni Amnesty will not only be able to receive vast amounts of community service hours for each issue, but will also have the satisfaction of being part of a politically activist group "working to protect human rights worldwide."
Each issue that is chosen will follow a basic strategy in raising donations. The issues will each endure for the period of about one month during which time low to high level campaigning and publicizing tactics will be utilized to communicate our issue to the public. The month long period will culminate in a large campaign in a crowded place consisting of speakers, debates, and information on the issue. Their will be a donation box nearby...
