  • 2017 Annual Report the Resurgence of Grassroots Activism a Message from the 2017 Year in Review Executive Director
    INTERNATIONAL LABOR RIGHTS FORUM 2017 ANNUAL REPORT THE RESURGENCE OF GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM A MESSAGE FROM THE 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, In 2017, we were inspired by the surge in protests demanding workers’ rights, women’s rights, and migrant workers’ rights – all issues ILRF has worked on for decades. We have also been heartened by growing numbers of investors, human rights groups, and environmentalists joining our demands that global corporations commit to greater transparency and to ensuring workers’ access to legal remedy. At ILRF, we are working to stop human rights abuses in global supply chains, industry by industry and country by country. • We have turned the global cocoa giants’ attention towards strategies that address the poverty among West African cocoa farmers and how poverty is a root cause of child labor and damaging to school enrollment and performance. • We have pioneered new approaches to corporate accountability in global supply chains, helping to make the legally binding Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety a model for pushing corporations beyond their flawed codes of conduct. • We have forged critical alliances with environmental rights advocates to expose forced labor and its links to environmental crimes in high demand commodities such as seafood and palm oil. ILRF’s priority campaigns focus on sectors where workers are particularly vulnerable, and where child labor, forced labor and violence against women at work are rampant and under protected. These are sectors where workers’ rights to organize and bargain for better wages and working conditions are often violently repressed, making it that much harder to identify and end egregious abuses.

Truth Mott Wells “Because we must tell and retell, learn and relearn, these women’s stories, and we must make it our personal mission, in our everyday lives, to pass these stories on to our daughters and sons. Because we cannot—we must not—ever forget that the rights and opportunities we enjoy as women today were not just bestowed upon us by some benevolent ruler. They were fought for, agonized over, marched for, jailed for and even died for by brave and persistent women and men who came before us.... That is one of the great joys and beauties of the American experiment.

    An Intimate World: Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Theodore Urban IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee June 2009 © Andrew Urban, 2009 Acknowledgements While I rarely discussed the specifics of my dissertation with my fellow graduate students and friends at the University of Minnesota – I talked about basically everything else with them. No question or topic was too large or small for conversations that often carried on into the wee hours of the morning. Caley Horan, Eric Richtmyer, Tim Smit, and Aaron Windel will undoubtedly be lifelong friends, mahjong and euchre partners, fantasy football opponents, kindred spirits at the CC Club and Mortimer’s, and so on. I am especially grateful for the hospitality that Eric and Tim (and Tank the cat) offered during the fall of 2008, as I moved back and forth between Syracuse and Minneapolis. Aaron and I had the fortune of living in New York City at the same time in our graduate careers, and I have fond memories of our walks around Stuyvesant Park in the East Village and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and our time spent with the folks of Tuesday night. Although we did not solve all of the world’s problems, we certainly tried. Living in Brooklyn, I also had the opportunity to participate in the short-lived yet productive “Brooklyn Scholars of Domestic Service” (AKA the BSDS crew) reading group with Vanessa May and Lara Vapnek.

To cite the general arguments, the citation is The Paradox of Women’s Equality: How American Women’s Groups Gained and Lost Their Public Voice (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2013). Specific quotations and figures should be checked against the published version. 2 For Grant 3 Acknowledgements This book started as a simple, straightforward undertaking. It ended up becoming an all-encompassing, sometimes frustrating, but always exhilarating labor of love that consumed more years than I’d care to divulge. As the project grew and morphed from year to year, I accrued incredible debts to many kind, patient, and generous people. First, I am grateful to the following institutions for providing the funds that made this book possible: the Ford Foundation; the Duke Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Voluntarism; the Duke Center for Strategic Philanthropy and Civil Society; the Aspen Institute’s Nonprofit Sector Research Fund; the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; the David and Lucile Packard Foundation; and the Center for Nonprofit Management, Philanthropy, and Policy at George Mason University.
