2013Wrcagenda.Pdf 1 1 2 2 LETTER FROM BOARD CHAIR Dear Human Rights Activists, On behalf of the Board of Directors of Amnesty International USA, I am honored to welcome you to the 2013 AIUSA Regional Conference. The Regionals this year come at an extremely important time, as we welcome our new Executive Director, Steven Hawkins, and embark on exciting new initiatives. Our organization has been through a period of adjustment, and I am pleased that we are on the road towards becoming a more united organization. That’s partly why the theme for this year’s Regional Conferences strikes me as particularly timely. The “Power of Us” signifies the movement as a collective whole. It reinforces the fact that regardless of our backgrounds, it takes all of “Us,” working together to maximize our impact. Throughout the changes, our human rights work has taken and will continue to take priority. For me, the re-launch of the Urgent Action Network resonates with deep personal meaning. When I was imprisoned as a young anti-apartheid activist in South Africa many years ago, the Urgent Action that Amnesty issued on my behalf helped to secure my release. In addition, we recently watched as the United States signed the Arms Trade Treaty, representing the culmination of over 20 years of dedicated work by Amnesty. These are just two examples of great human rights progress of which we as an organization can be extraordinarily proud. This weekend you will have the opportunity to learn more about these and other critical areas of AIUSA’s work as you participate in workshops, seminars, and trainings. We hope these sessions will plant the seeds for important initiatives, resolutions, and approaches for the coming years. They offer an opportunity to engage on a real, concrete level, with lasting impact for years to come. My fellow Board members and I look forward to meeting many of you at the Board sessions, where we will begin a conversation about reviewing AIUSA’s governance. Your input and participation is essential for AIUSA to improve its governance processes, align with AI’s Core Standards and ensure meaningful membership participation. I hope that you will be engaged and excited as you learn more about the incredible work by members throughout the country and the world. Please always remember that together, as a movement, we have extraordinary strength: the Power of Us. I thank you so much for all you do. In solidarity, Ann Burroughs Chair, Board of Directors Amnesty International USA 1 1 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Activists, Supporters and Members: I am in the early weeks of my work as executive director, and I have already witnessed the extraordinary power of this movement to save lives and protect human rights. It is my honor to add my voice to the Power of US and welcome the Power of you, our members, activists and supporters to the 2013 regional conference. I have been an activist for many years and joined Amnesty determined to strengthen the enduring promise all of U.S. make to people here in the United States and around the world whose rights are under threat – to do the most we can to protect and preserve human rights. In my first week, I joined with elated colleagues to watch as the U.S. government added its signature to the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, a life-saving effort that Amnesty originated two decades ago and campaigned ceaselessly to see adopted. Within days of this victory, Herman Wallace was released from a Louisiana prison where he had been held as one of the “Angola 3” under the abusive conditions of solitary confinement for more than 41 years – longer than any other prisoner in solitary in this country. Though we celebrated his freedom, it was a bittersweet victory, coming only days before his death from cancer. I know that these and other human rights victories are only achieved through the efforts of Amnesty’s extraordinary activists, supporters and members. I’m proud to join Amnesty USA as executive director. I have spent years leading the struggle for civil rights in the United States, including work to overturn the ultimate human rights abuse: the death penalty. At heart, I am an organizer and fellow activist and I know that only together as a movement can we bring about meaningful change. That collective power starts with the action of one person – you. Amnesty’s grassroots membership is our most unique and powerful asset. Every one of you who participates in a rally, signs a petition, lobbies an elected leader, makes a donation, has impact. Our challenge today, as we see an alarming erosion of human rights worldwide, will be to harness the full power of our grassroots constituency and reach new supporters, especially through digital platforms where we know we can have an even greater impact in terms of sharing our perspective on the world. Now more than ever, individuals facing dangers and abuses in the United States and around the globe need our voices and our commitment to justice to bring about change. This is a challenge I know you are eager to take on. The seminars and workshops you will participate in at our weekend regional conferences are designed to give you the tools you will need to maximize your impact and amplify your voices as you continue to call for human rights change. I could not be more proud to join you in that call right now, when we have such an opportunity to connect people here in the United States in the global fight for human rights. I look forward to achieving more human rights successes with you. On behalf of everyone at Amnesty, thank you for all that you do. In Solidarity, Steven W.

The IMTA had discovered tons of people, from Elijah Wood to Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, Ashton Kutcher and myself, but there have been a million people who have been discovered there.” – Riley Smith 2014 promises to be a year in which audiences will get to see NY97 IMTA alum Riley Smith in a group of very diverse roles. His upcoming projects include both TV and film and include a romantic comedy, a horror thriller, a Civil War period drama, and playing a vampire on HBO’s hit “True Blood.” Smith ended 2013 co- starring in the well-reviewed Hallmark holiday romance drama Christmas in Conway alongside Andy Garcia, Mary Louise Parker and Mandy Moore.

  • 4 September 2012 John T. Santucci ABC Good Morning America Re
    C HURCH OF S CIENTOLOGY I NTERNATIONAL 4 September 2012 John T. Santucci ABC Good Morning America Re: Church of Scientology Response to Vanity Fair’s October article “What Katie Didn’t Know” Dear Mr. Santucci: Thank you for your inquiry. The beliefs, practices and activities of Churches of Scientology are not defined by the romantic relationships of any individual Scientologist, celebrity or otherwise. The entire story appearing in Vanity Fair is hogwash. There was no project, secret or otherwise, ever conducted by the Church to find a bride (via audition or otherwise) for any member of the Church. Never. The allegations and entire premise of the Vanity Fair article related to Mr. Miscavige, the ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, are totally unfounded and false and categorically denied. The statements and events described about the Church are denied in their entirety. Vanity Fair relied exclusively on a small group of anti‐Scientologists, a handful of self‐promoting apostates who are admitted liars and suborners of perjury, for the preposterous allegations and corroboration of the allegations. Indeed, the article fails to quote a single source who is not a vociferous anti‐Scientologist. These apostates have shamelessly exploited Tom Cruiseʹs divorce by spreading false and invented tabloid stories in hopes of promoting themselves. When asked pre‐publication about her sources, Ms. Orth said “let me assure you that I have spoken to many people, and not just the self‐published group you refer to.” Yet, all nine of her sources openly belong to the “self‐published” group. She did not interview one Scientologist.
