ABOUT THE NIJC HUMAN RIGHTS AWARDS

For the past two decades, the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) Human Rights Awards luncheon has honored human rights champions and business, civic, and community leaders. The event draws 1,000+ attendees and provides critical funding for NIJC. For the safety and wellbeing of our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, NIJC will present this event virtually to a global audience for the first time ever. Over the past 30 years, with support from thousands of pro bono attorneys, NIJC has provided legal services to countless thousands of individuals and their families, and has achieved systemic reforms through impact litigation and policy advocacy.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER & JEANNE AND JOSEPH SULLIVAN AWARD RECIPIENT

AARTI SHAHANI is one of the most eclectic journalists you’ll ever meet. Before becoming NPR’s Silicon Valley correspondent, she was a community organizer in her native New York City, working with immigrants being deported. “I spent my 20s with prisoners, and my 30s with startup founders,” she says. “I like intense people, from all walks of life.” Her heart-wrenching and critically acclaimed memoir, Here We Are: American Dreams, American Nightmares, chronicles her unlikely journey.
