“Today’s human rights challenges demand a unique combination of energy, wisdom, and strategic thinking,” Elisa Massimino said. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to mentor the next generation of human rights advocates at Georgetown and help build the Human Rights Institute into a powerhouse training academy for lawyers who want to change the world.”
Elisa Massimino, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, took part in a Reel Progress discussion of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Do Not Split.” The documentary begins in 2019 as a proposed bill allowing the Chinese government to extradite criminal suspects to mainland China escalated protests throughout Hong Kong. Reel Progress is the progressive film series sponsored by the Center for American Progress.
