Tomorrow we're doing a letter of support on behalf of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission being conducted by Liberia and its citizens. This continues our series of actions focused on issues featured in our upcoming Human Rights Film Festival. For more info:

If you'd like to write a letter yourself, here is the address (thanks Eli):
Here's the address:
Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights
650 Third Avenue South
Suite 550
Minneapolis, MN 55402
We will also be completing much more planning for the festival. We will have films screening Friday April 24th - Tuesday April 28th. Opening night will feature a speaker and food, closing night will feature music. Discounts will be available all weekend to those purchasing a $15 Amnesty International annual membership.
***This is a great event, but it will take a lot of time and energy to pull it off! We need as much help as possible, so please join us tomorrow night to chip in and give some advice. All officers, both outgoing and incoming are expected to attend! This is an important part of being an officer.***
A list of films we're screening at Cine:
Favela Rising
Letter to Anna
Trouble the Water
Were the World Mine
Pray the Devil Back to Hell
