Match deadline: Help refugees fleeing Syria

Dear friends ,

Amnesty's Annual September Membership Drive ends in just three days.

As you know, the Syrian refugee crisis shows no signs of stopping. The time is now for human rights activists like us to keep pressure on governments to help Syrians fleeing war and devastation.

So far, more than 6,250 new and returning members have made a commitment to champion human rights.Will you join them? Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar through September 30.

Help us hit our goal of $400,000.

Amnesty has a long history of working on the crisis in Syria. We have been researching and documenting grave human rights abuses, war crimes and crimes against humanity since the conflict began in 2011.

From the start, we have been advocating on behalf of refugees fleeing the violence. Right now, we are harnessing the swell of global attention to pressure governments to take action to help families find safety and rebuild their lives.

The theme of this year's Membership Drive is "My Moment. Our Movement." This crisis is a moment. Please join the movement. Donate to support our work and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar for the next three days only.

Thanks in advance for your partnership.

Sincerely,
Steven Hawkins
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL USA

P.S. We are so close to meeting our goal. Donate before midnight on Wednesday and your contribution will go twice as far.
