Andy, this is Alyssa Milano.

If you're like me and have been watching the news, then you know that chaos continues to unfold across the United States. Every day, there’s a new headline about the Trump administration’s attacks on our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy.

Asylum is gone, food aid is slashed, and healthcare is being dismantled. And yes, with recent cuts to the Title X grant recipients, which provide contraception, cervical cancer screenings, and other lifesaving services for people who have no or few options for affordable care, reproductive health and rights have been impacted.

That’s why Human Rights Watch’s efforts to document and investigate human rights abuses, expose the truth, and hold officials accountable to their human rights obligations in the United States and beyond are absolutely critical. And it’s why I’m eager to share this opportunity with you:

As HRW works to raise $250,000 before the end of the year, every gift is being matched 9X by a generous group of donors – all with the goal of exposing injustices and pushing back against abuse.

Please, will you join me in supporting HRW with a donation today, while every dollar will go 9 times as far toward their work to defend human rights?

9X Match MY GIFT

Health care is a human right, Andy. Reproductive health care is a human right. And yet, right now we’re seeing policy changes that will significantly worsen the health and wellbeing of people across the nation.

So let me be clear: This is not policy. This is punishment.

Human Rights Watch is committed to investigating human rights violations all around the world, even when they’re happening here at home. Our country already has an expensive and inadequate healthcare system, which is inaccessible to many. So now more than ever, we must take action and support organizations like HRW that are working to defend human rights everywhere.

That’s why I’m stepping up today to help Human Rights Watch reach their $250,000 end-of-year goal, and I’m hoping you’ll join me, Andy. Please, will you make a donation now – while it will be 9X-matched – to help defend human rights and protect lives in the United States and beyond?

9X Match MY GIFT

Thank you,

Alyssa Milano
Actor and Human Rights Defender

DEFEND RIGHTS. SECURE JUSTICE.

Human Rights Watch investigates and reports on abuses happening all around the world. We are roughly 550-plus people of 70-plus nationalities who are country experts, lawyers, journalists and others who work to protect the most at risk groups and civilians in wartime, to refugees and children in need. We direct our advocacy toward governments, armed groups and businesses, pushing them to change or enforce their laws, policies and practices. To ensure our independence, we refuse government funding and carefully review all donations to ensure that they are consistent with our policies, mission and values. We partner with organizations large and small across the globe to protect embattled activists and to help hold abusers to account and bring justice to victims.

Our work is organized around three pillars:

Investigate: Our researchers work in the field in 100+ countries, uncovering facts that create an undeniable record of human rights abuses.

Expose: We tell the stories of what we found, sharing them with millions of social media and online followers each day. News media often report on our investigations, furthering our reach.

Change: We meet with governments, the United Nations, rebel groups, corporations and others to see that policy is changed, laws are enforced and justice is served.

Your support will power our work to investigate human rights abuses, expose the truth and hold perpetrators accountable in 100+ countries.
