Urgent actions, normally only current for about a month,
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 also send out urgent actions focusing on a key government decisions which demands an immediate response.
KAIROS sends notice of an urgent actions through our network via our website, Facebook, Twitter and our e-mail list.
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!
