Why are you called to be an SAC? Tell us the story of a moment that you chose to be a leader for the human rights movement.
In order to win human rights victories, we need to bring more people into the movement – we want Amnesty groups in as many schools as possible.

As an SAC, what steps would you take in the coming months to start new groups?
One of the main focus areas of our work this year is passing the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA). What are three things you would do to build a large activist base in your area that is prepared and ready to work on passing IVAWA?
Please provide two references. These can be professional, academic or personal (excluding family), and should be someone able to speak to your ability to be a successful SAC.
