Miami Committee

The Human Rights Watch Miami Committee, founded in 2019, is a network of informed and engaged leaders and visionaries who are dedicated to advancing human rights in our community and around the world by deepening Human Rights Watch’s presence in Miami. They represent Miami in the Human Rights Watch Council, a global network of nearly 1,000 leading philanthropists, investors, and influencers in 32 cities around the world who share a dedication to Human Rights Watch and the cause we serve.

The Miami Committee seeks to ensure that human rights are placed high on the public agenda by increasing awareness of local and global human rights issues and enlisting the public to support basic rights for all. Committee members strengthen Human Rights Watch by contributing financially to its work, attracting potential supporters, leveraging their skills and expertise to advance our work, building partnerships with local groups and institutions, or promoting the organization’s message and concerns locally. Membership in the Human Rights Watch Miami Committee provides an inside perspective into the most pressing human rights issues of the day.
