Jack Healey (born 1938 ) is a world-renowned human rights activist and pioneer. An effective and innovative leader in the human rights movement for over 47 years, Jack has helped move the topic of human rights from closed-door diplomatic negotiations to widespread awareness, public debate, and direct citizen action. Colleagues credit him with making human rights a major focus of governments, advocacy organizations, and individuals around the world.
Called “Mr. Human Rights” by U.S. News and World Report, Healey’s focus has been on inspiring the youth to support non-violent activism that would push back oppressive governments and societies. He has brought human rights to the global stage by his creative use of media and enlistment of world-class talent as advocates.

Today, Jack heads the Washington, D.C. based Human Rights Action Center (HRAC), a qualified Non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
