Amnesty International USA Uses Kintera Technology to Develop Online Action Center.

SAN DIEGO -- Kintera(R) Inc. (NASDAQ:KNTA) today announced that existing client, Amnesty International USA (AIUSA), has launched its online Action Center (http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org) using Kintera technology. The online Action Center is integral to both the recruitment and mobilization of the organization's activists around the country.

Using an integrated Kintera Sphere solution suite that includes Kintera Advocacy, Kintera Content Management System (CMS) and Friends Asking Friends(R), AIUSA has created a network of many thousands of people that defend and promote human rights. For example, AIUSA used Kintera technology to create a Web site for its "700 Women" campaign, as well as collect and deliver 96,000 petition signatures to Congress. This petition called for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) that funds programs addressing domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

The 700 Women campaign mobilized Amnesty International members across the United States to join the call to petition Congress. In the first eight hours of the launch of the "700 Women" Web site, AIUSA garnered more than 10,000 petition signers.

After implementing Kintera technology, the AIUSA Action Center now offers supporters online sign up for updates and action alerts, posters and flyers for download, and the ability to submit personal stories about experiences with domestic violence. In fact, users have contributed more than 200 stories.

"Kintera's online technology allowed us to easily create customized campaign Web sites for advocacy efforts and manage the user experience," said Kevin Reid, director of Internet communications for AIUSA. "Our online Action Center makes it simple for activists to weigh in on important initiatives all over the world, connecting online activism with offline action."

"Kintera's technology is critical to an organization's need to quickly and affordably spread the word and encourage supporters to take action," said Tom Williamson, general manager of politics and public policy for Kintera. "AIUSA's online Action Center exemplifies using technology to increase awareness and activism at a grassroots level."

In addition, AIUSA used Kintera's Friends Asking Friends online community-building program to organize in-person lobbying visits to members of Congress for its "Denounce Torture" initiative. The initiative is an effort to end torture and ill-treatment in the context of the U.S.-led "war on terror." Supporters were encouraged to become delegates and used Friends Asking Friends to build and manage a delegate team. As a result, AIUSA was able to organize 200 delegations in 47 states to bring the organization's anti-torture message to members of Congress.
