Write for Rights

So far, the possibilities I've mentioned for making a difference this season have involved some kind of purchase, but today's suggestion only really involves the cost of postage. It's Amnesty International's yearly holiday letter writing campaign. You can do this all on your own, or host or attend a group event where you all write letters together. Here's a link to the stories of some of the people you'll be advocating for.

I've participated in Amnesty's holiday campaigns in the past, and it's actually pretty satisfying. So throw in a few letters among your Christmas or holiday cards this year. Unlike some of the people you'll be writing for, you have nothing to lose by speaking out.
