100 days, 100 reasons to fight back

HELP TAKE ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S ATTEMPTS TO DISMANTLE HUMAN RIGHTS »

(Today only, a generous group of Amnesty members will match your donation for 2X the impact!)

One hundred days into his second term, President Trump and his administration have plunged us into an era of rampant authoritarian practices, recklessly gutting human rights protections and endangering billions around the world.

The impact of their actions over these past 100 days is profound and far-reaching:

  • People are dying from lack of humanitarian aid;
  • Families are being ripped apart, with children trapped and alone at the U.S.-Mexico border;
  • Millions of people in the U.S. are at risk — including immigrants, the LGBTQI community, women, girls, and more;
  • More than 255 people have been illegally expelled from the U.S to El Salvador;
  • Media outlets are being muzzled, protesters are being detained, and people and institutions are afraid to speak out.

The Trump administration’s unchecked power thrives on intimidation, persecuting dissent, and exhausting us until we give up. That's exactly why we must fight back — boldly and urgently. And it’s why we need you with us.

Your donation to Amnesty International will go 2X as far until midnight tonight to help protect people and families being targeted by Trump’s attacks.

It’s important to remind ourselves: What’s happened over the past 100 days is not normal. It’s an anti-rights shock and awe campaign. It’s a flagrant abuse of power that is causing real harm to real people.

Trump is counting on us to give up. NOPE. We never back down.

MAKE A 2X MATCHED DONATION TODAY

For everyone who is asking, “What can I even DO in this moment?”... Amnesty is the answer. We are a powerful grassroots movement that has over six decades of experience battling repression, attacks on human rights, and leaders who have abused their power.

Over the past 100 days, Amnesty has been advocating to free students who have been unlawfully detained and return people who have been illegally expelled from the U.S., urging Congress to save U.S. Foreign Aid, accessing ICE detention facilities to document and share the horrors with journalists and the media, and helping to reunite immigrant families that have been ripped apart.

No U.S. government funding goes into Amnesty’s research or campaigns.

We operate 100% independently, and we’re not holding back when it comes to holding the Trump administration accountable.

Our fight for human rights relies on a tried-and-true strategy:

  • We investigate and document human rights violations on the ground;
  • We mobilize ten million Amnesty supporters around the world;
  • We bring that pressure to decision makers to demand accountability and justice.

There is immense power in our numbers — join us in protecting human rights at this critical moment in our history.
