Welcome to Amnesty International Group 471 in North San Diego County, California

The North County chapter is very active within the county, doing numerous presentations on human rights in the community at schools, churches, etc., and tabling at various street fairs, concerts and events. The Group also sponsors an annual Walk For Human Rights each December 10th at the Oceanside Pier, that draws between 200 to 300 participants each year. We generally do a summer event each year, either a play, concert or movie event for the public that involves human rights.

The group sells merchandise to raise funds for its activities, including Amnesty T-shirts, Amnesty baseball caps, and Amnesty coffee mugs.

New members are always welcome!
