SLAVERY IS NOT HISTORY...YET! Our 2008 entry was Waterboardin' USA (photo at right). We've missed only three parades since 1998. See our Doo-Dah pages for 1998, 1999, 2005 and 2008. See our Facebook page (see sidebar) for pix of our 2011 entry. |

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 definition
of human rights). Group 22 is both a registered student group at
Caltech and a community local group for the Pasadena area.
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.
