Amnesty International Local Group 15,

Concord Area, Massachusetts

Amnesty International is a global movement of millions of people demanding human rights for all people, no matter who they are or where they are.

Amnesty Group 15 is a chapter of Amnesty International, based in the communities in and around Concord, Massachusetts. We work to protect and promote human rights locally, nationally, and throughout the world.

Monthly Meetings

We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 7PM.

A typical meeting includes: an urgent action, advocacy for an individual at risk, criminal justice reform, the death penalty in the U.S., immigrant justice, Community Partnership with Dignity in Asylum, general human rights legislation, and LGBTQ+ rights. Given the current threats to basic human rights in our country, we are pausing international activities to focus on events closer to home.

Upcoming meeting:

Tuesday, Feb 17 2026, 7:00 PM - Join us on Zoom.
Tuesday, Mar 17, 2026, 7:00 PM - Join us on Zoom.
