Congratulations to Leading with Conviction 2020 graduate Dieter Cantu, recipient of the 2022 Reebok Human Rights Award highlighting individuals doing impactful work that promotes human rights and fights injustice. Cantu will receive $50,000 to support his philanthropic work, as well as guidance and mentorship from Reebok and its involved partners.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be recognized and I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to be recognized by such a prestigious brand,” Cantu said.
“This award exemplifies that if we want to invest in the future, then we need to invest in our youth. The power is, and will always be, with the people. This award means that a child with a dream prevailed and was strong enough to defy the odds. When you lead with compassion, trust the process, and practice humility, you cannot be defeated.”
The Reebok Human Rights Awards program, which originally ran from 1988 to 2007, was reinstated in 2021. The program has a legacy of nearly 90 recipients from 40 countries. The legacy program highlighted individuals doing impactful work to promote human rights and fight injustice and provided funds to help them continue in their vocation. Past recipients include Winona LaDuke (1988); Bryan Stevenson (1989); and Vanita Gupta (2004).
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
We are preparing for our very special 10th anniversary gala in New York City on October 21st, and we would love for you to be there with us.
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future. By purchasing a $50 streaming ticket, you are saying to the amazing leaders in our network who represent the 70+ million Americans who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, “I see you, and I support you!”
Please plan now to join us in person or give a one-time $100 gift or set up a recurring $10 monthly donation to celebrate JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, and together we will build a fair and just U.S. Thank you!
