Make Some Noise

by Danny Fisher

Make Some Noise is “a global venture by Amnesty International that mixes music, celebration and action to protect individuals wherever freedom, justice and equality are denied.” The campaign’s goal is to attract one million new Amnesty International (A.I.) supporters.

A.I., which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977, is made up of “2.2 million members, supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries and territories in every region of the world.” The organization describes its mission and vision in this way:

    …A.I.’s mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

    A.I. is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion. It does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.
