Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights. AI's vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. In pursuit of this vision, AI'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. AI 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.

Our mission at DePauw is to create a chapter of Amnesty International that works to continue the Amnesty mission above, by raising campus awareness through letter-writing campaigns, speakers, and conferences.

Any member of DePauw and the surrounding Putnam County community can be a member of the DePauw University Amnesty International Chapter. To be a recognized USA Amnesty International member, he/she can pay membership dues to Amnesty International. Membership shall be open to any student, faculty member, administrator or staff person regardless of race, sex, creed, national origin, disability, or other status protected under international human rights law.
