We were doctors from Médecins Sans Frontières, Oxfam field workers, journalists, human rights monitors, anti-apartheid activists, witnesses for peace. AJWS was and continues to be shaped by the human rights defenders it supports. I mentioned the revelation that, in the most remote corners of the world, there have been Jews doing human rights work. The rise in authoritarianism, the climate crisis, anti-LGBGTQ+ movements—among other oppressions—makes this a tenuous moment for human rights. When I look at the bigger picture, there has been immense progress toward human rights and justice.
