We celebrate the incredible community of students, faculty, and alumni we work with all year, as well as the civil society organizations, community leaders, grassroots groups, and international organizations that we partner with to educate and train new human rights and movement lawyers, engage in collaborative capacity building and advocacy projects, and contribute to critical human rights scholarship and analysis. We thank all our supporters for their donations of any amount.

Promoting human rights is not a solitary exercise. We partner with groups across the globe to support and uplift their work, but in turn we rely on our donors to ensure we can do that work with the resources we need and to make a longterm commitment to the work.
