What does our local Amnesty International Group do?
How does Group 125 fit into the Amnesty International organization?
Are there other Amnesty International groups in Kingston? What does it cost to join Amnesty?
Last updated on February 8, 2021.
Group 125 is part of Amnesty International Canadian Section (English Speaking),
which is made up of local groups across Canada. Most of the groups in Québec
are part of a separate French-speaking section. These two Canadian sections
and those in many other countries, are part of a larger worldwide movement,
which has its headquarters in London, England.
Yes. There is a group on the Queen’s University campus and there are several
high school groups. We stay in close contact with these groups. The nearest
community group outside Kingston is in Napanee.
Membership in the Canadian Section costs $35 per year and can be paid through
the local group. See http://www.amnesty.ca for details. This entitles you to receive the bimonthly newsletter, The
Activist. Group 125 charges no local membership fee. Anyone interested in
our work can join our mailing list whether they pay the
national membership fee or not. But we urge anyone able to do so to pay the
membership fee, as it helps support the movement. If you have given money to Amnesty International
in the past, you may be considered a donor instead of a full member. You know
you are a member if you receive The Activist.
