Social Justice Awards is accepting nominations

Columbus made national history recently when the very first Social Justice Park was dedicated and opened up at the corner of Broad Street and Cleveland Avenue. The history of the park was the vision of First Congregational Church, who has been fighting for equal rights in Columbus since 1852.

It is fitting that we as a community come together and celebrate those whose work and leadership in community service, public service, education, law enforcement, restorative justice, and legal advocacy to
demonstrate their commitment to Justice for All.

The 2019 Central Ohio’s Social Justice Awards Luncheon will be held on Friday, March 15, 2019, from 11AM – 1PM at the Boat House at Confluence Park 679 West Spring Street Columbus, Ohio 43215. Our mission is to empower and enlighten all minds to the success and achievements of Central Ohio’s Social Justice Leadership.

Our Master of Ceremonies for this year’s awards luncheon will be Mr. Napoleon A. Bell II, Manager at the Office of Outreach and Engagement for the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. And our Honorary Chairperson this year will be Dr. Angela Bryant, Professor of Sociology at The Ohio State University.

Letter of support from Michael Stinziano, Columbus City Council President Pro Tem / Franklin County Auditor-Elect states “Columbus today is vastly different than Columbus of decades ago, and this trend will continue in the foreseeable future. Promoting the stories of those who have contributed their careers, communities and professions serves as an inspiration to those lucky enough to call Central Ohio home.”

The public and those engaged in the field are be able to nominate those outstanding professionals and leading organizations in the social justice movement through our online nomination form at
www.SocialJusticeAwards.org. The deadline to submit nominations is Friday, February 22, 2019.

“Thank you for all that you do to help others in need and for helping us make Columbus stronger for every resident in every neighborhood.” words of support from City of Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther.
