Since 2000, the Midwest Light of Human Rights Awards has honored human rights workers and celebrated the contributions of business, civic, and philanthropic leaders in promoting human rights. In 2009 the event attracted more than 600 Chicago civic leaders, including attorneys, business leaders, legislators, and advocates. The event provides critical funding for Heartland Alliance's National Immigrant Justice Center to ensure that its dedicated staff and pro bono attorneys can continue in the upcoming year to promote human rights and access to justice for immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.
