A virtual Get On The Bus for Human Rights is being planned for May. Stay tuned for updates. March 4, 2020 To our fellow Amnesty International activists and allies: This week, Amnesty International Local Group 133 officers and the Get on the Bus for Human Rights leadership team made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person gathering in New York City for Get on the Bus (GOTB) scheduled for Friday, April 3rd due to the many unknowns and potential logistical challenges related to the coronavirus. Instead, we are planning a virtual week of action for Friday, April 3rd - Friday, April 10th. We will be posting more details and sharing downloadable materials (posters, letter writing actions, videos, etc.) shortly on gotb.org. Thank you for all your support. We hope you will join us, taking action in your own community to promote global human rights. In solidarity, Kelly Turley On behalf of the Get on the Bus for Human Rights Leadership Team kelly@amnesty133.org
