Dear Friends,
As I prepare to step down as Executive Director of the Center for Justice and Accountability, I find myself reflecting on a simple truth that has guided our work: the most difficult challenges are always better tackled with friends by your side.
And what friends you have been. Together, we’ve fought alongside survivors seeking justice, achieved accountability where it seemed impossible, and built a community united by the belief that human rights matter everywhere, for everyone.
I am deeply grateful to our extraordinary staff, whose dedication and expertise inspire me daily; to our partners around the world who have trusted us and taught us; and to all of you who have supported this mission with your time, resources, and unwavering commitment.
As I move forward, I do so with tremendous optimism for CJA’s future. The organization is strong, the team is exceptional, and the need for this work has never been clearer. I am excited to join all of you as supporters of CJA as it writes its next chapter—because this community, these friendships, are what make the impossible possible.
Thank you for everything.
With deep appreciation,
Carmen Cheung Ka-man
