About this blog

Everyday at Amnesty we hear of people who go above and beyond to raise money to help us protect others wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied. They're our heroes. They are the people who make our work possible. In this blog we want to thank them, celebrate them and find more people to join them. Could you be an Everyday Hero?
