Paul Rothschild (Leading with Conviction™ 2024 participant) has been awarded a $10,000 prize from the Canary Impact Fund. He posted this announcement message on social media:
“I’m humbled, honored, and honestly a little scared to have been selected as one of the Canary Impact awardees for 2024, with my fellows, Marsha King, Adrian Allen, Bridgette Simpson, John Bae, Mario F. Wright, and Richard D. Smith.
“We were encouraged to submit an application that was audacious, and innovative, and that would require us to stretch and grow. I tapped into one of my unrequited loves, hip-hop music. I proposed a project titled ‘Movement Mix-tape,’ which will bring formerly incarcerated artists and producers together to produce a soundtrack for social change that will be available for use in narrative change by all criminal legal system reform and abolition partners.
[“Movement Mix-tape”] will bring formerly incarcerated artists and producers together to produce a soundtrack for social change …
“Thanks to Canary Impact for supporting and encouraging me to attempt this dream, and offering me the network and resources to manifest it.
“Calling all formerly incarcerated rappers, singers, spoken-word artists, musicians, beat-makers, producers, and editors! If you know someone, pass this along, and ask them to contact me to be included in this groundbreaking project!”
Previous JLUSA leaders who have received awards from the Canary Impact Fund include Michael Cox, Khalil Cumberbatch, Emile DeWeaver, Belen Enriquez, Keeda Haynes, and Marlon Chamberlain.
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!
