Welcome!
If you decide to join the Amnesty International CSS
Chapter is because you agree with us that absolutely all of us are entitled to basic freedoms and protections simply because we are human beings.
Always remember that...
Human Rights are Universal: They belong to everyone,
regardless of their race, sexuality, citizenship, gender,
nationality, ethnicity, or abilities.
Human Rights are Inherent
We are all born with human rights. They belong to
people simply because they are human beings.
Human Rights are Inalienable
They cannot be taken away - period. No person,
corporation, organization, or even government can
deprive another person of his or her rights.
Human Rights can be Violated
Although they are inalienable, they are not invulnerable.
Violations can stop people from enjoying their rights, but
they do not stop the rights from existing.
Human Rights are Essential
They are essential for freedom, justice, and peace.
Use these invaluable rights and:
