Rather than launching a campaign against the ICC and continuing to arm a government engaged in a genocide, US authorities should respect human rights and the rule of law. New York Mayor Mamdani is right: PM Netanyahu should be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court.

Social media bans alone, without any requirements to change the underlying algorithms and addictive features, will leave children who manage to circumnavigate age-gates, older children and adults exposed to the same risks. bit.ly/4bF5VFj

Today’s Supreme Court ruling would deny transgender youth the ability to participate in recreational activities with their friends and peers – simply due to their gender identity. Transgender youth should have the same opportunities afforded to their cisgender peers. Together, we will continue to fight for a better future – one where transgender people can enjoy their human right to bodily autonomy and a life of freedom, safety and dignity. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

The House FY27 Labor-HHS funding bill provides strong support for @AmeriCorps and the communities it serves. This is an important step, but the appropriations process isn’t over yet. Tell Congress to support increased funding: bit.ly/TakeActionAC #Stand4Service

By approving billions in new funding for ICE and CBP despite ongoing reports of human rights violations and other abuses, lawmakers have shamefully rewarded agencies that have carried out militarized raids, unlawful arrests and detention, racial profiling, and other actions that have terrorized communities across the country. The approval of nearly $70 billion for ICE and CBP doubles down on fear, violence and tearing families apart and gives a nod to the Trump administration that it is free to continue this disastrous and cruel system without facing accountability. More than 60,000 Amnesty International members and supporters urged Congress to reject this funding. We will continue fighting to end mass detention, abusive enforcement practices, and policies that separate families and undermine human rights.

As people around the world prepare to come to the U.S. for the World Cup, all fans, players, referees, journalists, and families should be welcomed, not shut out by the Trump administration’s discriminatory visa restrictions targeting people from certain countries or be arbitrarily searched or detained in U.S. airports. Take action! bit.ly/4e0jKzY

Video after video shows Israeli settlers violently harassing and violently attacking Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, seizing their livestock, bulldozing their schools, setting fire to their property and even killing Palestinians as part of a brutal campaign to forcibly displace Palestinians and expand control over the land– with full political and financial backing from the highest authorities of the Israeli state. This is what a policy of state-led ethnic cleansing looks like. Read our full report that documents how Israel is ethnically cleansing Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities in Area C of the occupied West Bank in a bid to expand settlements, entrench apartheid and accelerate annexation: amnestyusa.org/reports/erasin… Watch. Share. Demand action.

No matter where your lawmakers stand, now is the time to make your voice heard. Today, every email, call and shared story helps make public support for restoring funding for local public media stations impossible to ignore. Act now: bit.ly/3DuC8RN #RisingforLocalStations

The U.S. has killed more than 200 people in over 60 strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, claiming without evidence that the boats were engaged in narcotrafficking. Amanda Klasing (@AMKlasing) of @amnestyusa says these are extrajudicial killings that constitute

Today is Amnesty International's 65th anniversary. For 65 years, we've been documenting and exposing abuses, bringing violators to justice, freeing human rights defenders in prison. Families caught in armed conflict. Refugees forced from their homes, tortured in prisons. Journalists jailed—or even killed—for doing their jobs. Children and parents wondering if they will survive another night. Our work is not just about exposing human rights abuses. It is about doing something about it.

@TulsiGabbard @ODNIgov I am deeply sorry about your husband and wish him a speedy recovery, @TulsiGabbard. As for you, BYEEEE and good riddance. May your conscience someday get the best of you.

On June 4, I’m joining Protect My Public Media Day to help show why local public media stations are worth protecting. Join me. apts.quorum.us/campaign/162398

For Palestinians, everyday is Nakba Day. For 78 years, Israel has denied Palestinians their right to return home - violating international law and UN resolutions. Dispossession, displacement, and fragmentation continue to define Palestinian lives.

As we mark World Press Freedom Day today, journalists in the U.S. have increasingly been intimidated, harassed and targeted by the Trump administration. The erosion of press freedom is a warning sign – one that signals a frightening slide towards authoritarian practices. One example of press repression in the United States: the arrest of journalist Georgia Fort. (1/6)

Israel continues to destroy civilian infrastructure as shown in this video, which captures the Israeli army destroying solar panels in southern Lebanon. Amnesty International has previously documented extensive destruction by the Israeli military along Lebanon’s border before and after the November 2024 ceasefire. We called for reparations and the investigation into this for war crimes. So far, neither has appeared. Since the more recent 2026 “ceasefire”, civilians in southern Lebanon’s border villages, many of whom are displaced, are continuing to witness their homes, land, and infrastructure destroyed. Israel must stop the unlawful destruction of civilian property across southern Lebanon.

This is a pivotal moment in human rights history. Rights are under attack around the world. But attacks on rights don’t have to win. From youth uprisings in Nepal, to dockworkers stopping arms shipments in Europe, to climate defenders and women winning rights – resistance is rising. We won’t back down. #HumanityMustWin

Earth Day is a day to remember that climate change transcends borders and affects everyone, everywhere. And that it is often those least responsible who are the hardest hit. Global cooperation is essential to tackle the crisis and protect vulnerable communities from climate harms like rising sea-levels, food scarcity, wildfires, extreme storms and floods, and lack of access to safe drinking water. To cede ground now risks our collective future. Humanity must win. #EarthDay

We are deeply alarmed at the U.S. Justice Department’s targeting of @splcenter, a critically important organization in the civil rights movement of this country. At a time of major rollbacks on human rights and racial justice, we must all speak out in support of organizations working to fight hate, discrimination and extremism. AIUSA is committed to defending civil society's ability to do this important work without fear of reprisal. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…
