"I
joined Amnesty the beginning of my sophomore year and I did urgent
actions, and that was about it. I hadn't really learned that much about
what was going on. Then when I did 'Get On The Bus', I was blown away. I
learned so much and I wanted to go home and teach everyone what I had
learned. This was one of the best, or possibly the best experience of
my life..." - Angelica Thornhill, GOTB past participant
"Last
Friday I joined a group of 16 students from the Winsor School as a
parent participant in Amnesty's "Get On The Bus" Program. The one-day
program was a terrific success, and I want you to know from a
participant's viewpoint how well organized the entire event was...The
demonstrations were orderly, focused and clear in their message,
attracted much attention, and, from the reaction of passersby, much
credit to Amnesty and the high school and college students
participating. I was proud to be part of this extremely successful
program..." - John Shattuck, Former Assistant Secretary of State for
Human Rights during the Clinton Administration
