Welcome to Amnesty International Group 22
in Pasadena, California
Group 22 is one of many local affiliates of Amnesty
International USA, which in turn is the United States national
section
of the worldwide Amnesty
International
movement. Founded in 1961, AI works impartially for the release of all
prisoners of conscience, fair and prompt trials for political
prisoners,
and an end to torture and executions (for further information, see the brief
history and description and the text of the Statute
of AI).
New members are always welcome!
Simply show up any of our events listed below. Our monthly meetings or
letter-writing sessions are especially good places to start. See the map for directions.

Regular monthly meetings:
Thursday, Apr. 24, 7:30 PM. Monthly Meeting. We meet in the lounge of the Caltech Y, at 1350 San Pasqual, between Hill and Holliston, south side. (Just behind the two curving walls forming a gate to a path. Signs will be posted. Also see the map.) Help us plan our group's actions for the coming month. Refreshments provided.
Tuesday, May 13, 7:30 PM. Letter-writing Meeting in the Rathskeller of the Caltech Athenaeum (NW corner of Hill and California, in Pasadena -- see map in the sidebar). This is in the basement, down the stairs to the right of the main entrance. Look for the table with the Amnesty sign. Please join us to write actions on human-rights violations around the world. We also spend some time just talking about whatever we feel like. Refreshments will be provided. This informal gathering is a great way for newcomers to get acquainted with Amnesty!

This month we discuss "Banker to the Poor" by Muhammad Yunus, the economist who awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to create economic and social development from below. All welcome!
