What is Get on the Bus?

Get on the Bus for Human Rights (GOTB) is an annual day of human rights education and activism organized by Amnesty International USA Group 133 of Somerville, Massachusetts and a dedicated team of volunteer community organizers. From its launch in 1996 through 2019, GOTB drew thousands of participants riding buses, commuter trains, and carpooling to New York City to take peaceful action in front of embassies, consulates and corporate headquarters in NYC in support of human rights. Starting in 2020, GOTB has shifted to be a virtual event, connecting activists from around the world online.
