The day for the Free Kareem rallies (to take place worldwide) is nearing. We need your help!

We have five confirmed locations so far:
- New York City
- Romania
- Germany
- Washington, DC
- The Netherlands

Help us organize 10 more! There will most likely be on in London, France, Belgium, and Sweden. They are still unconfirmed locations, but if you are willing to organize a rally in your city please do, and contact us for any details!

We will be posting the contact information of these organizers very shortly.

Until then, please download these flyers and place them around your campus or wherever else you think is approrpriate:

If you can’t see, this is what it says on the bottom of the flyer, next to “why you should support Kareem“:

The theme of the worldwide rallies is “One year is enough!” since it will mark Kareem’s one year imprisonment. Remember that although he was officially sentenced on the 22nd of Feburary, he has been imprisoned since the 6th of November. We are holding the rallies on the 9th of November however, so do not get confused! This is to ensure that all students can also show up to the rallies, which (it not on Fridays) they cannot do due to classes or office hours.

The good folks behind the Committee to Protect Bloggers have generously helped organize a Twitter day for Kareem which will take place on the 6th of November. If you use twitter, please consider joining us in spreading further awareness on Kareem’s case. You can read all about this event here:

As we mentioned before, we are co-sponsoring a protest on November 6 with FreeKareem. On that date, the Egyptian blogger Kareem will have been unjustly incarcerated for one year, due to communicating his opinions on his blog. There are physical marches and other activities set to coincide with this date. On our end, we are asking everyone to use their Twitter account to talk about Kareem, free speech, imprisoned bloggers and have related conversations for the whole day. We’re offering the badge above that you can download on your blog or site to indicate your belief in free speech for bloggers worldwide and for Kareem in Egypt in particular. (The bluer version is available in our Flickr account in the sidebar.)

When you write about this aspect of the day, please use the tag twitter4kareem.

The 17th of June marks Kareem’s 23rd birthday.

Here are the list of things that we want him to get for his birthday.

1. Clothes (between medium and large - Kareem is around 5′6 or 5′7 tall.)

2. Writing materials

3. Books (be careful with your selection, and remember that prison guards will see it before Kareem does. Therefore it’s very important to select something that will not trouble him.)

4. Food / sweets

5. Blanket

6. Postcards and birthday cards

7. Letters!

Please send any of the above to the address posted here.

Send an eCard and spread the word!

We are happy to announce that about a dozen rallies will be held worldwide in support of Kareem Amer. If you happen to be near any of the locations listed below, we’d love you to join us on Friday, April 27!

(Want to help but can’t attend a demonstration? See our What You Can Do page!)

Note from rally volunteers: While we appreciate the support provided by organizations worldwide, everyone is participating first and foremost as a civilian, not necessarily as a member of a particular organization.

This list will be updated as we get more details. Stay tuned!
