AIUSA: Make Some Noise at Pride!
June Pride month, which marks the anniversary of the historic Stonewall Riots, is a good time to MAKE SOME NOISE against the targeting of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people for police abuse. Amnesty's "Make Some Noise" campaign takes our human rights message to young people around the world through music, celebration and action.
Show your solidarity by taking part in Pride events in your area. If there are none in your community start your own! Sign up to have an organizing kit mailed to you.
