2025 Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Awards Celebration

We are thrilled to invite you to the 2025 Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Awards Celebration on Wednesday, September 24, at the True Reformer Building in Washington, D.C.

This year, amid escalating crises, we've witnessed extraordinary resilience: bold worker organizing, new leaders rising up against Trump and his billionaire cronies, and powerful acts of solidarity to protect our immigrant coworkers. Join us as we honor movement leaders driving the fight forward for workers’ rights, economic justice, and a democracy that works for everyone.

We are proud to share that our first honoree this year will be Former Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su, whose lifelong advocacy for stronger labor protections has changed the lives of countless families and individuals.

Is your organization or company interested in sponsoring the celebration? for sponsorship opportunities and contact to confirm by August 22.

Our full slate of honorees will be announced soon.
