Take an easy, simple step to promote human rights! This year marks the
30th Anniversary of Amnesty International's Urgent Action Network (UAN),
the global network of concerned citizens who are available 24 hours a day
to intercede on behalf of prisoners of conscience everywhere. Tens of
thousands of concerned folks have already made an enormous difference in
our global fight for human rights - responses to e-mail alerts and Urgent
Actions have resulted in hundreds of thousands of faxes, letters and
emails and the ultimate release of more than 40,000 prisoners of
conscience worldwide.

To mark this important anniversary, an anonymous donor has agreed to
donate one dollar to Amnesty International for every new sign-up to Amnesty USA's online Human Rights Action Center (HRAC) - up to $100,000! Help us recruit 100,000 new participants in the HRAC! Launched in 2000, the HRAC grew out of our 30 years of experience with the UAN, utilizing new technologies to mobilize more people, more quickly via email and the Web.

Participation in the Human Rights Action Center is free. Sign up today - and forward this message on to your friends and encourage them to sign up too!
