Amnesty International USA's Western Regional Activism Conference 2026

Western Regional Activism Conference. Los Angeles, CA, October 3-4, 2026.

HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK

Basic freedoms are facing unprecedented threats—both globally and right here at home. In a landscape of rising authoritarianism and systemic challenges to human rights, passive solidarity isn't enough. We need to organize and take action.

The 2026 Regional Activism Conferences (RACs) are your launchpad for collective action. Join other Amnesty members and activists to:

• Learn about urgent global and domestic human rights issues.
• Build Skills like campaign tools, legislative advocacy, and grassroots organizing tactics to take action in your community
• Network with activists who share your dedication to justice

Whether you’re just getting started or a veteran campaigner, your voice and strategy are essential to this movement.

Let’s build a future rooted in equity, dignity, and human rights for all.
