On October 26, Savvy Shabazz (Leading with Conviction™ 2023) received the “Grassroots Peacebuilder” award from Interfaith Paths to Peace (IPP) at their annual community celebration and fundraising event.
IPP is is a grassroots 501c3 organization focused on violence reduction, racial equity, and cross-cultural peacebuilding. Since its beginning in 1996, it has served the community of Louisville, Kentucky, through initiatives that unite and organize people of diverse faiths, races, cultures, and traditions to create a more just society in which we all get to experience wellbeing.
In addition to thanking and crediting his colleagues at All of Us or None (Louisville chapter), Savvy also thanked fellow JLUSA leader Rep. Keturah Herron (Leading with Conviction™ 2019) who was also in attendance at the ceremony.
Listen to what Savvy had to say upon receiving the award:
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
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 making a donation in honor of JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, 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 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!
