We are still walking on air after the Clooney Foundation for Justice’s Albie Awards! It meant the world to us to see a room full of supporters and defenders of human rights. People ask us how we stay hopeful when the world is in such turmoil. The answer is simple: our hope comes from you. From our Albie Award winners who put their lives on the line, to the donors who chose to support this event, to the actors, musicians, and artists who came joined us to raise their voices on behalf of our honorees, to those of you who are sharing our posts in order to let the world know that justice and human rights are important to you, you make it clear to us that there are allies for human rights, activated and ready to wage justice.
