Events and Publications

50th Anniversary Kickoff Celebration

In September 2023, we launched our 50th Anniversary celebrations with a series of events. We initiated the series with a thought-provoking discussion, "Defending Human Rights and Democracy: 50 Years After the Chilean Coup d'état," held at the U.S. Senate. Next, we hosted a special reception with our sponsors, where we paid heartfelt tribute to the remarkable work of Joe Eldridge (video) and received a special message from Isabel Allende. Concluding our commemorative month, WOLA co-hosted a moving ceremony to honor the legacies of Orlando Letelier and Ronni Karpen Moffitt. Lastly, we were honored to receive a medal in recognition of international solidarity from the Chilean president, Gabriel Boric.

50th Anniversary Partners Event

In November 2023, WOLA organized a reception to celebrate alliances and commemorate 50 years of collaborative work. During the same week WOLA participated in many other events, including a discussion on Central American Journalists under attack and Crowd Control Weapons in the Americas.

Check out pictures and videos from the event here!
