spirit of
the awards
We celebrate the work that often goes unheralded, and the people and organizations that keep our vision for a just world alive. Too frequently, we focus only on the final outcome of a campaign instead of taking a moment to honor the people and organizations working behind the scenes to transform their communities and our country. The Community Change Champions Awards were created to do just that: to recognize the people and organizations whose work is making progress toward social justice a reality.
The organizers and leaders who inspire people to identify the changes they need and take action to fight for them.
The artists and thinkers who envision a more just future, and what it will take to get us all there.
Our partners in the labor movement, who share our commitment to rights and opportunity for hard-working people.
The organizations that bring people together and build their communities with grassroots power.
The public servants who carry the voices of the people with them into the corridors of power.
The donors and philanthropists who help build a broader movement by connecting people with resources that help them fight for change.
The emerging leaders who demonstrate courage, compassion, leadership, and the promise to build a broader movement for change.
And the activists who demonstrate bravery, determination and resolve, even when the obstacles seem insurmountable and change seems out of reach.
