One of our most distinguishing activities as a campus organization is hosting a different petition every week. Traditionally we “tabled” outside of Commons or inside the Woolsey Rotunda. We do our best to solicit over 100 signatures each week to help end human right violations one issue at a time, always donning our Yale Amnesty t-shirts.

 

This semester, we’re trying out a new tabling model. Check us out at the Commons rotunda every Friday from 12-2! Each week boasts a different petition on a domestic or international human rights issue. Help get the petitions signed as you are going to catch a meal or just taking a shortcut across campus through Commons. Tell your friends, and sign up for our mailing list to get involved!
