Interfaith Social Justice Awards

JRLC confers two Interfaith Social Justice Awards at its annual Day on the Hill. The Lawrence D. Gibson Interfaith Social Justice Award is given to an individual, and the Interfaith Social Justice Community Award is given to a congregation or organization.

In addition, iCAN recognizes one of its Key Advocates for outstanding children's advocacy work with its Key Advocate of the Year Award.

The interfaith social justice awards recognize work done in an interfaith context that moves members of a community to effective public action. Criteria in making awards include:

• Work included public policy change
• People affected by the problem help define the problem and the policy change
• Resources of the faith community were mobilized
• Citizens were mobilized

Nominations for the 2012 awards closed Friday, March 9, 2012. To nominate an individual or organization or Key Advocate please use this form. Yes, you can nominate yourself or your congregation/organization!
