Join Morgan Freeman to Bring Human Rights Work to Light
Tuesday, December 1, 2009
YouTube can be a powerful tool championing the
rights of individuals
and
promoting free expression
. This month, during International
Human Rights
Day, we're partnering with Morgan Freeman and Amnesty International to encourage you to become advocates for equality and justice, through
Video Volunteers
.
Here's how you can help.
Create a video about the nonprofit of your choice working on a
human rights
issue that you care about -- it could be genocide, human trafficking, refugee protection, gender equality or something else -- and submit it to the
Video Volunteers channel
by December 21.
Amnesty International and Freeman, who plays legendary crusader Nelson Mandela in the upcoming movie
Invictus
, will select three videos to appear on the YouTube homepage
at the end of the month.
Hear more from Morgan about the importance of taking up this cause:
This is your chance to help citizens around the world who often can't help themselves and to bring the vital work of human rights organizations to light. Join Morgan Freeman to protect the rights of these individuals at
