Today I began the first bit of true campaigning for Amnesty International.
I've been asking people to sign protest letters towards the President of Kenya, asking him to stop forced eviction, and to get him to help out the 2 million odd people that are already in the slums.
I'm aiming for 100 letters initially. Today I had 11 signed. I need to print off more... I'm asking for two dollars for postage whenever someone signs a letter, so I can mail each letter individually. A lot of individual letters is more effective than one long petition, I imagine.
I hope to start plans for some fundraisers and presentations about the condition of some other countries and cities... I want to raise awareness - and money - for any cause I can get my hands on.
Activism is exciting!
