DESCRIPTION:Today is International Day of Education! Your words can make a difference! 
 \n\nCome join AIUSA local chapters including RASOTA for Amnesty's 24th year 
 of Write for Rights (W4R) — Amnesty International’s largest annual 
 letter-writing campaign! People all around the world write hundreds of 
 thousands of letters on behalf of individuals in urgent need of 
 help.\n\nThe amazing and wonderful community space in the Mission, the 
 Drawing Room Inc. (https://drawingroominc.org) is hosting Amnesty 
 International's annual Write for Rights, for a community inter-generational 
 gathering. Come check out their exhibit Sanctuary and then grab a cup of 
 Khushbu chai and write and/or draw for human rights!\n\nWe will write 
 letters to help convince government officials to release people who have 
 been arbitrarily imprisoned, support brave human rights defenders, stop 
 torture, commute death sentences, and end other human rights abuses.\n\nWe 
 will also draw and write Solidarity cards with messages of hope to the 
 human rights defenders or their family members, letting them know they are 
 not alone and that we are here, supporting them. \n\nThrough collective 
 grassroots action, you can help persuade government officials to free 
 individuals unjustly imprisoned and demand justice for past human rights 
 abuses. Over the past 24 years, more than 50 million actions have been 
 taken, and over 100 people featured in the campaign have seen a positive 
 outcome in their case.\n\nAll ages welcome! Please bring your family and 
 friends, and your artivist spirit! Drawing materials for solidarity cards, 
 pens, paper, envelopes, and template letters and stamps will be provided! 
 All ages welcome! You can draw the solidarity postcards or simply use some 
 provided by the hosts. \n\nDrop by for a few minutes or a few hours! Make 
 your voice heard and contribute to positive change in the world!  Your 
 words can truly change a life! To learn more about this season's featured
