Run for Rights

Combine your love for an athletic challenge with your passion for human rights. Join an existing run or create your own athletic challenge in your community, and raise money for Amnesty International's human rights work.

This summer, Run for Rights participants will be raising money and awareness for Amnesty International's human rights work on China. During the lead up to the China Olympics, we are urging the Chinese authorities to create a lasting and positive legacy for human rights.

We are calling on the Chinese government to stop executions, ensure fair trials for all, respect the rights of rights defenders, and end internet censorship.
