We are proud to honor remarkable leaders in our community:
-
The Rev. Dr. Davida Foy Crabtree, receiving the Laddie Michalowski Community & Labor Award for a lifetime of faith-driven activism and her leadership in building Third Act Connecticut into a powerful statewide movement for climate action and democracy.
-
Effie and Angaza Mwando, founders of Our Culture is Beautiful, receiving the Nancy Benedict Social Justice Award for advancing cultural unity, celebrating African American history, and fostering intergenerational community connections through art and storytelling.
During the program, we will also celebrate a milestone for democracy in Connecticut 20 years of the Citizens’ Election Program (CEP).
