2018 AWARDEES

Keynote speaker & Jeanne and Joseph Sullivan Award recipient:Dolores Huerta

Human Rights Practitioner Award recipient: Jones DayJones Day is a long-time pro bono partner with NIJC. Most recently, the firm created a national project to represent detained immigrant women in Laredo, Texas where its pro bono attorneys are conducting Know Your Rights trainings and intakes, and representing women seeking asylum. This is a unique project as it responds to a need for access to counsel in an area of the country where there are limited, if any, legal services available to poor asylum seekers. In addition to providing detained representation and legal consultations to hundreds of individuals, the firm has represented more than 150 non-detained immigrants.

Dolores Huerta is an American labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farmworkers Association with César Chávez in 1962, making famous the popular rallying cry, “¡Sí, Se Puede!” Huerta has received numerous awards and accolades over the past five decades, recognizing her advocacy on behalf of workers’, immigrants’, and women’s rights, including the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights and the Presidential Medal

of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2017, a biographical film titled Dolores was released, highlighting her lifelong commitment to social justice. Today at 87, Huerta continues her lifelong work protecting human rights; developing grassroots leaders; and advocating for the working poor, immigrants, women, and children. She is president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation.
