The organization has been awarded the 2009 Daniel Levy Award by the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild.

Seattle-based Northwest Immigrant Rights Project has been awarded the 2009 Daniel Levy Award by the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild.

The national recognition comes on the heels of a separate recognition NWIRP received from the city of Seattle and King County for its work on behalf of immigrant survivors of domestic violence and as the organization celebrates 25 years working with immigrants across the state.

Levy was a former staff attorney of the National Immigration Law Center and an advocate for immigrant and civil rights. The National Immigration Project said NWIRP exemplifies Levy's vision of a socially conscious immigration-law advocacy.
