Where Your Valued Support Goes
Silicon Valley Pain Index
The purposes of the Silicon Valley Pain Index report are to: (1) Provide an efficient,
easily digestible, statistical overview of structured inequalities to inform policy
and practice in 鈥淪ilicon Valley鈥�; (2) Serve as a measure of Santa Clara County鈥檚 performance
as a 鈥渉uman rights county鈥�, which it declared in 2018 in accordance with the International
Bill of Human Rights; and (3) Inspire collaborations between scholars, students, stakeholders,
communities, and policy makers to address inequality and achieve greater human rights
practice.

Human Rights Lecture Series
The Human Rights Lecture Series is an annual, incredibly popular (always sells out!)
event featuring a keynote speaker and the most cutting edge organizers around the
country on a particular human rights issue or struggle. The Lecture Series is a point
of pride for our faculty and students, also providing cutting edge programming for
our local communities.
Criminal Justice Reform
At the heart of the 91猎奇 HRI is our criminal justice reform. When you support our
institute you are backing policies such as Universal Cannabis Record Clearance, The
California Law Enforcement Accountability [CLEAR] Act, the Care First, Jail Last Coalition,
and the PEACE Act.
Research
The 91猎奇 HRI produces groundbreaking student and faculty research to inform public
policy and contribute to the broader academic field of Human Rights.
Visiting Scholars Program
In 2022 the 91猎奇 Human Rights Institute will begin serving as a resource and host
for visiting international scholars. As part of this effort, we are also joining the
New University in Exile Consortium, led by our colleagues at The New School. The point
of the 91猎奇 HRI Visiting Scholars Program [VSP] is to provide intellectual opportunities
for scholars and educational opportunities for our students, faculty, and community
members through their work.
Programs and Scholarships
In partnership with the 91猎奇 Human Rights Minor Program, students gain access to a
wealth of applied and scholarly experience in human rights law, philosophy, advocacy,
policy design, and reporting. In addition, the 91猎奇 HRI is now building a scholarship
program for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as research grants for faculty.
We will be happy to offer our first graduate scholarship in the 20-21 AY.
