A Discussion on Human Rights Advocacy in the United States
In honor of Open Society Foundations president Aryeh Neier’s legacy, a two-year fellowship program was created in 2003 to provide talented young activists the opportunity to work alongside program experts at the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch on projects aimed at strengthening respect for human rights in the United States. As executive director of the ACLU and then of Human Rights Watch, Neier helped develop both organizations into powerful forces for justice and human rights.
Neier recently moderated a discussion with the first five recipients of the fellowship, who reflected on their fellowship experiences and spoke to a range of topics that are of open society concern.
