Fire Up for human rights
In December we will mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and we want you to Fire Up and celebrate with us!
In hundreds of locations around the world, people will gather holding lights to form the shape of the iconic Amnesty candle.
The images captured will send a unified message of solidarity around the world, and prove there is a global community of us committed to ensuring the basic human rights articles laid out in the UDHR 60 years ago, will become a reality for us all.
So join in and show your solidarity with other people who are committed to making human rights a reality for everyone - 100 cities are already involved and this number continues to grow.
Check out the photos from Saturday’s event in London where we joined local groups to hold a Fire Up moment and enjoy a moment of celebration for the work that Amnesty does around the world and encouraged people to take action on the Greetings Card Campaign
