Pledge “onemonthamnesty”
"I will do something for Amnesty International every day for a month but only if 19 other people will do the same."

More details
Every day for a month (pick a month, any month), I'll do something for Amnesty International, and I'd like you to do the same. It might be something as simple as clicking on the free donation button at http://stopviolence.care2.com/. It might be putting up a poster or rambling about Amnesty International to a friend in the pub. It might be adding your face and your voice to the Control Arms campaign (http://www.controlarms.org/). It might be writing a letter, fax or email to help someone, somewhere, right now (http://www.amnesty.org/actnow/).
I want to do this, and I want you to do this, because it's important. Because Amnesty International are a great organisation. Because I'm making puppy-dog eyes at you, personally, right now. But mostly, because there's a lot of really bad things happening in the world, and we can help stop that. We can be the people who stood up and spoke out, not the people who sat down and shut up.

- Great pledge, Lorna! Keep circulating the pledge -- it would be great to get even more folks involved! And note that we now have a Facebook application ("Pledges"), so if you're on that site you can share your pledge that way. You can also add a widget to your blog that will track the pledge's progress. Check out the purple and yellow boxes above for those tools. Keep up the good work!Heather, 9 months ago. Abusive?
