We’re so excited to celebrate the bravery and commitment of leading worker rights advocates and the dedicated individuals who support them. Please join us this May 12th in honoring our 2016 Awardees and celebrating ILRF’s 30 year history of promoting justice and dignity for workers worldwide.
This year your support will help us to honor:
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur for her advocacy to eliminate child labor in agriculture and to protect workers’ rights in global trade agreements;
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, for their deep commitment to justice for all workers; and
Human Rights Defenders in Uzbekistan, including Elena Urlaeva, Dmitry Tihonov, and Uktam Pardaev, for their leadership, bravery, and dedication to challenging the state-run regime of forced labor in the cotton sector of Uzbekistan.
