Local Groups

In communities across the U.S. Amnesty International Local Groups come together to protect human rights. Local Groups are made up of community volunteers who meet to organize actions to protect and promote human rights and inspire others to take action alongside them! Most Local Groups meet monthly and are always looking new members to join them.

We are grateful for your interest in being a part of human rights work in your community! If you have any questions or would like more information, contact communitynetworks@aiusa.org. Below is a list of all our current Local Groups, organized by state.
