As you might have heard, this year we’re celebrating two champions of migrant rights: Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and the Fray Matías de Córdova Human Rights Center.
Congresswoman Escobar represents the border city of El Paso and has become a fierce advocate for humane approaches to migration policy. She will be recognized for her powerful work to protect and defend migrants, asylum applicants, refugees, and their families, at a time when the Trump administration’s treatment of these populations is anything but humane or dignified.
The Fray Matías de Córdova Human Rights Center, based in Tapachula, Chiapas, will be honored for its work to support and protect migrants and asylum seekers at Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala. The center’s advocacy has included exposing conditions in Mexico’s largest migrant detention center, and urging support for public policies that provide humane treatment of migrants and asylum seekers.

We’re building quite a program, so stay tuned over the next few weeks. I’ll be sending you more information about our Honorary Committee, the Co-Chairs of the event, and the other human rights champions who’ll be presenting the awards that night.
I hope you will join us on May 6 at the Mayflower Hotel. Together, let’s celebrate the incredibly important work of Congresswoman Veronica Escobar and the Fray Matías de Córdova Human Rights Center.
See you there,
Geoff Thale
