SMU group launched

Monday night a group of eager students gathered to form Saint Mary's University Amnesty International group. After learning about the history and mission of Amnesty International, the group planned a fun year including biweekly meetings, letter-writing, and creative activism around campus. Members plan to use costumes, displays and fun activities to raise awareness about human rights. "People will come up to us and ask what we're doing," explained Tina, a group leader. "Then we can tell them about human rights."

The group is looking for new members. Visit them on facebook or check the calendar for meeting dates.
