The purpose of our Human Rights Conference is to inspire and connect activists, give them the tools they need and help make change happen.

The conference may be over, but our commitment is unwavering and our movement to bring human rights home, in Chicago and around the world, has only just begun.

Thank you to all of our activists who made the 2014 Human Rights Conference the place to be this weekend. You are our power.
