Urgent actions are a way of protesting a violent action or preventing
imminent violence such as a murder or military action.
We partner with many groups whose members are threatened with violence
as a result of their work for justice. When their lives or the security
of their organization are threatened, we respond with letters of
protest to those in power and letters of solidarity to those under
threat. Occasionally we send out urgent actions focusing on a key
government decisions which demands an immediate response.
Partners in both Canada and the global South tell us that our letters
do make a difference.
Please write your own response to the situation, using our letter
as a guide if needed! Notice of urgent actions is sent out through
our Kairos Times e-mail list.
Urgent actions are normally only current for about a month. For
background to KAIROS’ continuing advocacy work please visit
our archive, sorted by date and sorted
by subject or country.
