On November 14th and November 15th, 600 supporters in Silicon Valley and San Francisco gathered to celebrate the work of HRW and to honor Abbé Benoît Kinalegu, an extraordinary human rights defender and advocate for human rights in Congo. We also recognized HRW’s Elizabeth Calvin, for her efforts in the passage of California Senate Bill 9, giving a second chance to youth offenders sentenced to die in prison. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, this year's dinners raised $2.5 million to support the work of HRW in over 90 countries around the world. THANK YOU!
