The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice and the Sissy Farenthold Fund for Peace and Social Justice will hold an anniversary gala in Austin on Thursday, April 24, 2025, marking 20 years since the Center’s founding and 10 years since the Center launched the digital exhibition of the life and work of Frances Tarlton “Sissy” Farenthold. Please join us to celebrate 20 years of work at the intersection of academics and advocacy that has both engaged and fostered the next generation of social justice leaders.

The Rapoport Center was inaugurated in 2005, made possible through the generosity of Bernard and Audre Rapoport, who were lifelong supporters of immigration justice, labor rights, reproductive rights, and educational attainment. Over the past two decades, the Center’s work has reflected these commitments, with faculty and students collaborating with community and NGO partners in the global North and South to produce innovative and enduring change in areas ranging from inequality and the future of work to the rise of xenophobia globally.

The Sissy Farenthold Fund was established in 2021 by the family and friends of trailblazing Texas politician and long-time leading feminist and social justice activist Sissy Farenthold, who was also an important friend and advisor to the Center. The Fund has allowed the Center to expand its research, advocacy, and programming on issues to which Sissy was committed, including peace, reproductive justice, and environmental justice.
