Our annual Peace Awards provide a fundraising opportunity for the Center as well as a chance for the community to honor the hard work of those making an impact through their dedication to peace activism.
OUr Local Hero for Peace for 2020 is Rossmoor resident and activist - Mary Taylor. As the founder of the Black Lives Matter Committee of the African American and Friends Club in Rossmoor, Mary Taylor has taken an active lead this year in her community by organizing numerous rallies & educational guest speaker events that served to raise awareness around issues of racial & social justice.
Our International Hero for Peace selection for 2020 is the organization, Black Alliance for Peace (BAP). The Black Alliance for Peace concentrates its efforts on opposing the U.S. war agenda and other projects of militarism abroad through educational activities, movement support, and awareness building. They also work to raise awareness about the link between global militarism and the state-sanctioned repression Black and Brown communities face domestically.
The virtual celebration will feature keynote addresses from our awardees, a special Peace Center retrospective historical video, a raffle fundraiser, as well as time for small group discussion/mingling via breakout sessions.
Raffle ticket winners will be announced at the end of the evening.
