Chapter undertakes research and action focused on preventing injustice and promoting human rights.

Brown University’s Amnesty International chapter: a student group that undertakes research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights. Our usual activities and plans of action include, but are not limited to:

various panels, speakers, forums with distinguished professors and activists, movie and documentary showings, petition drives, pursuing legislative action, and participating in the Amnesty Northeastern Conference. Ultimately, we teach ourselves and others about human rights violations around the world.

“They closed the doors with chains and we were unable to go to the bathroom,” one woman wrote, noting that a guard told her that “this is your punishment for coming here.”
Mothers and children are cruelly and unlawfully detained prior to and during their asylum proceedings in the US.
This detention is not only inhumane, it commonly leads to infections and deterioration of the children's health, with many children leaving detention with upper respiratory and intestinal issues.

Obama’s family detention camps were strongly condemned for their inhumane conditions, but Trump has arguably made the situation even worse.

According to her affidavit in support of her claim for asylum, back in El Salvador, Sara suffered serious physical and psychological domestic violence, and was sexually abused. Sara also received death threats from a gang leader and gang members who are believed to have killed people in the past.

Call your senators and get them to publicly denounce the ban as unconstitutional. John McCain and several others have already spoken out against it, but congress can do better.

President Trump has signed an order banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries and suspending the refugee program. We need all senators to oppose this order from the get-go. Ask your senator to denounce anti-Muslim hate and this shameful executive action.
