From Amnesty

	We're discussing the real issues facing women today. Have you reserved your seat at the table?
	From the U.S. presidential elections, to the ongoing transformations in the Middle East and North Africa, to Afghan women rising up to claim their rights, women's rights are human rights -- and they are driving the global debate. As Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, I am proud to say that Amnesty International has always been at the white-hot center of the human rights debate. Now we need your help -- and your voice. I hope you'll join me on Thursday, October 4, for the second annual XX Factor -- Amnesty's women's rights forum in Washington D.C. Seating is limited, so sign up now! And if you can't join us in D.C., then be sure to tune into the livestream beginning at noon. Eve Ensler, award winning author, playwright and activist, will give the keynote and set the tone for our dialogue with policymakers, grassroots activists, students, experts and others advocating women's rights around our world. We'll discuss the human rights issues facing women today - from the seismic political transitions that are unfolding across the globe to women's participation in the 2012 elections and beyond here in the U.S. For over fifty years, Amnesty has been working to create change. We know the core of that change begins with the human rights of women. And as Eve Ensler has said: women are the primary resource of the planet. I hope you'll join me for an experience you won't forget. Thank you and I hope to see you on October 4th!
