Colorful posters lined the wall with jarring messages about human rights violations around the world. The stage was lit in anticipation of the performances to come. Outside the door, freshmen Amy Baldauf and Mallory Lee greeted people at a table with Amnesty International pins and information about the sponsoring clubs, Amnesty International and the Principia Energy Coalition. At 9 p.m. sharp, Amnesty president, freshman Laura Ainsworth, stepped up to the mic to introduce freshman band ConSentric.

Ainsworth said about the event, “It’s all about the human rights, baby.” She also said that it was a chance to bring all of the activist clubs together.The evening was sponsored by Principia’s Amnesty International chapter, a human rights activist group, along with the Principia Energy Coalition, a club which works for environmental sustainability on campus.
