The Fight Against Torture under Trump Starts Now
 Trump Wants to Bring Back Torture – We Must Stop Him.     |
Dear friends,
The fight against torture under the Trump Administration starts today - with you.
President-elect Trump has chosen new leaders for his administration. But first, they must be confirmed by a Senate vote. That's why we are calling on Amnesty activists like you to send a loud and clear message to your senators:
Human rights must be non-negotiable for the Trump Administration.
Donald Trump has made it clear he wants bring back torture. "We should go much stronger than waterboarding," he said last year, calling it "your minor form" of torture.
Now he's picked Rep. Mike Pompeo to head the CIA - a man who called the CIA's program of torture and kidnapping under the Bush administration "within the law" and "within the Constitution."
We can't let Trump bring back the CIA torture program. Donald Trump's pick for CIA chief must renounce torture.
Take Action: No Torture In My Name.
Next week, before Pompeo can be confirmed to head the CIA, he will go before the Senate for questioning. Both Pompeo and Trump have supported actions that violate human rights. Now is our chance to hold them accountable.
Take Action Now: Torture Is A Crime. No Excuses, No Exceptions.
Together as Amnesty activists, we can stand up for human rights in a Trump Administration.
Thank you for taking action,
