Author Description

Offering a message of tolerance, humanity, and global harmony during troubled times, this year's calendar from Amnesty International is inspired by the work of celebrated photojournalists from VII. Founded in 2001, this picture agency specializes in projects of a political, environmental, and human rights nature. VII's renowned photographers--Ron Haviv, James Nachtwey, Eugene Richards, Lauren Greenfield, and John Stanmeyer, among others--have created many of the defining images of the twenty-first century. * Amnesty International is the world's preeminent human rights organization, with more than 2 million members and supporters in 85 countries and more than 1,500 college and high school groups in the U.S. alone. * Sales of this calendar benefit Amnesty International and its programs.
