Amnesty International: Human Rights Action Centre, Shoreditch, London

The size of this large modern building in the heart of one of Londons coolest and priciest areas is, I think, representative of both the power of AI and it’s central function in our democracy.
I’m not a member, sadly just a non contributing admirer. I attended a function here on Monday however, a book launch promoted by New Internationalist magazine, with a simultaneous campaign launch to stop development of oil mining in the Yasuni tribal land of Equador.
Inside the building is modern and open planned. Security doors and scanners add a little drama to the peacful ambiance.
Our event took place in the lecture theatre on the ground floor. A deep elevated theatre with the latest technological facilities and a little room where they supplied us with wine and food.
Must visit during office hours to more round out my sense of this place. I felt very peaceful here though.
For Athiest humanists like myself, these buildings are our chrurches.
