JRLC confers two Interfaith Social Justice Awards at its annual Day on the Hill. The Lawrence D. Gibson Interfaith Social Justice Award is given to an individual, and the Interfaith Social Justice Community Award is given to a congregation or organization.
JRLC's interfaith social justice awards recognize work done in an interfaith context that moves members of a community to effective public action. Yes, you can nominate yourself or your congregation/organization!
