About Us
It is better to light the candle than to cause the darkness.
It is better to light the candle than to cause the darkness.
Amnesty doesn’t accept funding from governments for our research and campaigns… instead, we rely on people like you to power our work. In a time of increasing misinformation and the influence of money in politics, we pride ourselves on our independence to hold human rights abusers accountable.
Do you believe we have a shared humanity and a shared responsibility for what goes on in the world, despite what politicians tell us?
Better to light the candle than curse the darkness.
