Club Description
Amnesty International is a global organization dedicated to
protecting the human rights of people of all races, genders,
sexualities, religions, and nationalities. Amnesty focuses specifically
on aiding individuals or groups whose human rights are under attack by
writing letters to government officials or other influential persons
of power. Outside of written persuasion, the LHS chapter of Amnesty
International dedicates itself to making the student population of
Ledyard High School aware of these injustices and actions that they
can take to help those in need. LHS Amnesty is also known for its
annual Jamnesty, a rock music competition event which helps raise
awareness and funds.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
