We need to go

We will not give up Dear Tracy, I cannot shake the image of the Gazan father carrying his child's broken, lifeless body from the bombed out remains of his home. Nor can I forget the fearful faces of Israelis racing to shelters under threat of indiscriminate rockets. This tragedy has repeated itself over the years. Palestinians have endured a crushing Israeli blockade and military strikes. Israeli civilians have repeatedly had to run to bomb shelters to hide from rockets. That's why Amnesty needs to go to Gaza and to Israel - to investigate war crimes and seek justice for the victims. We will not give up, despite Israeli authorities' refusal to allow Amnesty to enter Gaza. Your gift will help Amnesty International go to the places where human rights are violated, so that together we can fight for human rights for all. Giving today makes a difference. All this month, during our September Membership Drive, a group of generous donors will double every dollar of your gift, making your generosity go twice as far. Your gift is urgently needed right now to help Amnesty work to prevent and end life-and-death human rights crises in Gaza, Israel and all over the world. Please, give now. When government and armed groups target civilians and hospitals, we go. When activists are jailed for peaceful expression, we go. When women are forced to marry their rapists, we go. We go to human rights hotspots to gather evidence, expose the truth, and to defend human dignity and freedom. We go because you send us. Help send us now. Make your first donation to Amnesty today. Your donation will be doubled. Your gift of $50 becomes $100. Your donation of $250 grows to $500 - but only if you give by Sept. 30. Tracy, I'm counting on you to come through in important moments like this. Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place. Sincerely, Sunjeev Bery Advocacy Director, Middle East North Africa Amnesty International USA P.S. To meet the pressing demand for Amnesty's lifesaving human rights work, we must meet our Membership goal of 10,000 new and returning members by Sept. 30. Be a human rights champion - join now. Thank you.
