The Advocates for Human Rights

The Advocates for Human Rights respects the inherent dignity of all human beings no matter a person’s race, ethnicity, immigration status, abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, sex, or age. We will continue to stand up against racism, bigotry, hatred, discrimination, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and all forms of gender-based violence. Today. Tomorrow. Always.

You have helped us protect the dignity and safety of people experiencing human rights violations as well as those who stand up for their rights. We expect increasing numbers of people seeking help. We cannot face these challenges alone. The world has seen and will continue to see relentless attacks on human rights—from dangerous policies targeting asylum seekers and increased attacks on immigrant communities, to blatant disregard for women’s health and the persecution of LGBTIQ+ individuals. The threats are not abstract—they are real, immediate, and devastating. Protecting human rights is possible with the financial support from our community. Together we are transforming lives, reshaping laws, and ensuring dignity and justice for all.

So far in 2024 we have:

• Engaged with over 1,500 visitors at our Twin Cities Pride booth.
• Worked on 3,900 immigration cases.
