Their volunteers stand with more than seven million people in 150 countries who work together for freedom, justice, dignity and equality.

Amnesty WA community organiser Sarah Gooderham said the movement was built on the passion and commitment of their local action groups.

“Everybody is welcome to the Get Active meeting to be a part of this exciting opportunity for the Rockingham community,” she said.

The Get Active will provide an opportunity for those interested in Amnesty’s work to learn more through an information session, and find out how they can participate.
