This fight is personal to me, and I’m excited to share that today marks a special milestone - the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration for Human Rights! Drafted by representatives from all regions of the world, the Declaration set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. Each year on December 10, we honor the anniversary by marking Human Rights Day. I want to share why this is so important to me: long before I became Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, I spent part of my childhood in a Japanese American internment camp. When people hear this, they react with horror that such a thing ever existed right here in the United States. The truth is: These seemingly unimaginable human rights violations continue to take place around the world today. I see them when Amnesty International exposes how asylum-seekers are being denied access to safety at our country’s border, or when Amnesty documents unlawful acts and discrimination targeting the LGBTQI+ community. That’s why I raised my hand to share an exciting opportunity to take our collective impact with Amnesty and multiply it by FIVE today, thanks to [a special 5X matching gift marking the 75th anniversary of the Declaration and Human Rights Day.]( People count on Amnesty to shine a light on injustice and ensure that they are not left behind. Please join me today, on Human Rights Day, and show the world that we are willing to fight for them and their human rights. Here are the details: There’s a goal of $75,000 to keep this vital work going and a midnight deadline to automatically turn every $1 you give into $5. Can you help? [Give now in honor of Human Rights Day and your support will be 5X MATCHED to stamp out injustice and protect people at risk »]( [HUMAN RIGHTS DAY MATCH. YOUR $1 = $5 TODAY ONLY]( I remember the terror I felt when soldiers with guns pounded on our front door and violently ordered my family out of our home. More than 80 years later, our time in the internment camps is burned in my memory. If we look away, abuses will continue and history will repeat itself. That’s why it’s so important that you and I do our part to strengthen this movement for human rights. Together, we show up wherever and whenever human rights are under threat, and we demand justice. [Your 5X matched gift today is a celebration of this work, the human rights we all inherently possess, and our shared fight to do even more to protect them.]( There is no organization out there like Amnesty with its scale of research, global campaigns, and independent operation. With your help, we can uphold the ideals of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by advocating for refugees fleeing violence and persecution, holding human rights abusers accountable, and delivering hope to people whose human rights are violated.
