The Houston Bay Area local group #1017 was formed in January 2019 by concerned citizens interested in establishing a southeast Houston Amnesty International chapter. Our group meets on the first Monday of each month at 6:15 p.m. Central. We are meeting by Zoom for the moment. We invite you to join us!
