Save the Date!!
for a Human Rights Celebration at the Border
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
This 2008 is a very important year for the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), its Human Rights Community Based Committees, and its board of directors. This will be the 10th Year Anniversary of the Border Network for Human Rights! The BNHR has been Empowering Communities and Creating Hope and we will be celebrating this prominent event with a fundraising dinner and the 1st BNHR Human Rights Award Event to be held in July 18th 2008, from 6:00pm to 9:00 pm at the St. Pius Catholic Church.
This BNHR Human Rights Award & Dinner will be a relevant event for the communities and organizations working along the US/Mexico Border for justice to immigrants; working for Human and Civil Rights recognition for all; and especially to those families that live the day to day struggle to survive and maintain their families. Moreover, on this day BNHR will also recognize those important individuals whom have contributed to the advancement of Human Rights along our US/Mexico Border and Nationally as well.
The Key Note Speaker will be Don Kerwin from the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC). The Border Network for Human Rights will be honoring those involved in the Human Rights Struggle with three awards:
- BNHR Human Rights Visionary to Taryn Higashi formerly of the Ford Foundation and now Executive Director of the Unbound Philanthropy.
- BNHR Human Rights Advocacy to Jose Rodriguez, El Paso County Attorney.
- BNHR Safe Communities Awards to former El Paso Chief of Police Richard D. Wiles.
