ILRF is Merging with Global Labor Justice!

On July 1st the International Labor Rights Forum will enter an exciting and important new phase when we merge with Global Labor Justice and Jennifer (JJ) Rosenbaum begins as the Executive Director of the merged organization. This merger of two incredibly well-matched organizations is an opportunity to carry forward ILRF’s legacy and provide a larger, stronger base of support for the network of partners and allies around the world. We are excited about this next phase and we hope you will join us in supporting JJ and the newly merged team as they continue and grow this important work defending labor rights, defining the strategies that will transform the economy, and building a broader movement.

Each year, the ILRF Awards ceremony brings together policy leaders, labor activists, and an increasingly diverse group of internationalists who know that human rights and economic justice depend on the ability of workers and their advocates to speak out and defend human rights at work.
