Because Marquette is full of students who stay current on what is going on into the world, I do not think it wise to delve into the details for each of these campaigns.,”I feel that most people have at least heard of the injustices happening in Darfur, the "creative" methods of coercion methods at Guantanamo and at least a few examples of horrible, violent acts against women here in Wisconsin.
However, do we really know what is going on? Imagine if the US government decided to decimate the people of Omaha, which is what has already happened in Darfur. What if the US government used dehumanizing torture techniques on prisoners of war?
Oh wait, it already does. By the time you have read this far, another woman in the United States has been sexually assaulted. What, if anything, can a student in college do?
Amnesty International is offering a convenient and entertaining opportunity for students to learn more about injustices happening everyday. Tonight, the organization is presenting Jamnesty: Rock for Rights, a concert at the Annex from 8p.m. to 11p.m. which will offer ways for students to be socially active while listening to some great music.
Instead of simply watching the Packer game while procrastinating against finals, learn how to apply your passion for basic human rights in a real way. Amnesty International offers students a low-stress method of getting involved and staying up-to-date on important issues of human rights. Take responsibility for your own education on world issues and what you can do about it.
