A long-time advocate for workers’ rights at home and abroad, Senator Sherrod Brown<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=51c40ZklHhm6%2BE5c0WwssRLgemMfuXZn> is our 2015 Labor Rights Defender Awardee for Visionary Leadership.  Senator Brown has led the opposition to fast track of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in the Senate, demanding a trade policy that promotes good jobs at home, while raising labor and environmental standards abroad. He has introduced legislation to strengthen enforcement of our trade laws, including addressing unfair trade practices like currency manipulation and closing an outdated loophole that allowed certain goods made with forced labor to be imported and sold in the United States.

We hope you are just as excited as we are to honor Senator Brown at the 2015 Labor Rights Defenders Awards. Please purchase your ticket<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Yqmf2jvR1Ky4eRuHSf6OdRLgemMfuXZn> or consider supporting ILRF through a sponsorship<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=mggFe3MRanmypnV0IEhTHhLgemMfuXZn> or a tax-deductible contribution<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2GeKDwlhZYApak%2BGppzWaxLgemMfuXZn>.
