Welcome

AIUSA Group 37 is a Twin Cities-based local group of Amnesty International (AI), a grassroots activist human rights organization with over one million members worldwide. Group 37 is the oldest Amnesty USA (AIUSA) local group in Minnesota.

Group 37 members meet monthly to share news and updates about human rights worldwide, distribute actions, plan events, and learn about current human rights issues. All are welcome at our meetings.

Our work is guided by the mandate of the worldwide Amnesty International movement:

Amnesty International undertakes research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

Many Group 37 members are active in subgroups — smaller, self-selecting groups that focus on specific geographical areas or issues of concern.

Native Land Co-existence Statement

Built on the seized state of indigenous peoples, Mni-Sota is built up over the territory of the Anishinaabeg and Dakota people, and we honor them as custodians past and present.  We acknowledge the deep inequality in power relationships between indigenous interests and other planning bodies.  We recognize indigenous interests and their determination over land upon which our homesteads, cities and suburbs have been built.  Under these conditions, we defend treaties and support the sovereignty of tribal nations and their citizens.
