Amnesty International Bermuda is offering volunteers who help host its 50th birthday party a free opportunity to listen to top bands while celebrating the worldwide human rights movement.Amnesty supporters from across the Island will join others from across the globe on Saturday May 28 in marking the half-century of the organisation, which campaigns against human rights abuses.Musical entertainment will include reggae talent Troy Anthony, in his first performance since releasing his latest CD, Next Generation.While tickets for the party at the Kaleidescope gallery in Devonshire cost up to $50 if bought on the night, Amnesty Bermuda director Robyn Skinner is offering free entry to the first ten people who sign up in advance to volunteer.“We need ticket-takers, people to sell food tickets, parking attendants and a photographer,” she explained.The work will be in shifts, so volunteers will still get a chance to enjoy the party.Besides Troy Anthony, other musicians performing will include Joy T. Barnum and the Channel, The Conscious Band, the blues band Bones, rock band the Papercuts and Chris Finsness.The family-oriented, open air celebration will feature local human rights activists speaking on key issues including violence against women, discrimination based on national origin [with a focus on migrant workers], sexual orientation and freedom of expression.There will also be information about the work Amnesty International does to campaign for internationally-recognised human rights for all.Among the campaigns supported by the Bermuda section recently was an appeal for action over the detention of one of China’s internationally renowned artists, Ai Weiwei.Mr Weiwei, a critic of the government, was detained in China on April 3 and is believed to be at risk of torture. Amnesty International Bermuda partnered with the Bermuda National Gallery last week, getting people to sign ‘action letters’ to be sent to China.Letters relating to other action campaigns will be available at the event along with an art project to keep children entertained.Miss Skinner pledged the party will go ahead “come rain or shine,” as there will be tents in case of inclement weather.Food will be provided by Indigo Global Cuisine and drinks by Goslings, who will ensure the event is “green” by using cups made out of corn.Encouraging volunteers to come forward, Miss Skinner said: “You’ll get to hear great music for nothing and support a cause that should be important to everyone here on the Island; human rights, with particular stress on freedom of expression. We’re going to be one of hundreds of Amnesty International sections celebrating our 50th anniversary on the same night.”Volunteers should e-mail Miss Skinner on director@amnestybermuda.org.For those who prefer to party all night rather than work as a volunteer, ticket prices are as follows: $40 for non-members of Amnesty buying in advance, $30 for members in advance, and $50 if bought on the door.Students get a discount if they bring their ID. Tickets for them are $15 in advance or $25 on the door.Tickets can be purchased in advance from www.bdatix.bm, All Wrapped Up in the Washington Mall, The Money Shop on Dundonald Street and Fabulous Fashions at Heron Bay Plaza.For more information visit the Amnesty International Bermuda Facebook page or www.amnestybermuda.org.
