Peace & Justice Award
We know there are many in our community who share Dr. King’s vision and would be deserving of the MLK Peace and Justice Award. Perhaps it’s someone who works behind the scenes or someone who is quite visible; lending support for special activities, working politically or as an example of peace and justice in his/her everyday life. We encourage you, or a group with which you may be affiliated, to nominate someone you believe is deserving of this award by using the buttons below to visit the online nomination form or download a printable version.
Nominations must be submitted by November 7, 2025.
