Amnesty International Chapter
In the fall of 2015 a group of dedicated students launched the inaugural Amnesty International chapter at Claremont McKenna College. Amnesty International is a global movement of people fighting injustice and promoting human rights around the world. The student led chapter organized a variety of programming and initiatives during the 2016-17 school year. Learn more about their activities and how to get involved with this dynamic and committed group of students.
Student Task Forces
In addition to the Amnesty International chapter, the Center also supports student-led Human Rights Task Forces. Task Forces address current national and global human rights problems and are a great way to volunteer your time and get involved with the Center. Students choose the issues they wish to support and implement activities designed to achieve their group's mission locally as well as off campus. Task Forces engage in monitoring, research brief writing, education, fundraising, and networking with local, national, and international organizations. The Center is currently supporting the following Human Rights Task Forces:
- IDEA (International Development in Education Association)
- Liberty in North Korea (LINK)
- No Lost Generation
- Power of Women
- Unchained: Anti-Human Trafficking / Slavery
