Amnesty International at GCC

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our film screening on immigration rights! 🎬✨ Your support, participation, and shared voices made it a truly impactful event. We made 100 post cards and will continue this action tomorrow. Let’s keep the conversation going and continue advocating for justice!

By engaging with our community and sharing knowledge, Know your Rights Bingo was a great way for us to start off National Week of Student Action. Our poster was an excellent aid for communicating how migrants rights are human rights! 🦋🤎💙

National Week of Student Action is HERE! Join us for our upcoming events. We will be showing powerful short films Wednesday showing us questions like “what would you pack if you were being deported?” Additionally, we will have an action packed event on Thursday focused on making this change happen. It takes us all and we look forward to your attendance!

As Black History Month comes to a close, we celebrate the impact, resilience, and achievements of Black leaders and people past and present. Let’s carry this spirit forward every day and continue to center community.

We had an amazing event this week where we made art for our upcoming event. Huge thank you to art connections members who helped us with art supplies and everyone who came to our event or table. We look forward to our upcoming events and taking action in NWSA!

What a honor it was to attend AGM 2025!!! We gain so much knowledge, experience, and gratitude by taking action, celebrating cultures, and attending educational sessions. Our members look forward to applying our newly gained expertise on our campus, in our community and throughout amnesty. We are also so joyful that Rocky Meyer’s sentence has been commuted. Our action has real impacts, and it takes us all. In 2025 and beyond, we will continue being a light in the darkness in our community.

“Everyone everywhere on earth has rights, no matter where they were born or who they are.”

A nice reminder at the Amnesty International AGM.

“They are trying to destroy the idea that pieces of paper can fight guns, that pieces of paper fight bombs.

“If we can’t protect the notion that paper can protect us against brutality and war and ‘might makes right’ then we are in a dark place.

We need to build local and global support that will ensure that rights on paper matter more than guns in hands.

“We need to hold on to the idea that truth matters. We need to build a movement that believes that truth matters and that we do so not by denigrating other people but by seeing the humanity in everyone.”
