Anniversary

Greeting Book, December 8. 2018 at 4 pm
Dear
Sisters and Brothers,
This
year's People's World Amistad Awards will take place on Saturday,
December 8, 2018 at 4:00 pm at the
First and Summerfield United Methodist Church, 425 College St, New
Haven. We come together "United in Struggle for a Better World -
Unidos en La Lucha por un Mundo Mejor."
We
are excited to announce this year's awardees Eva Bermudez Zimmerman,
Shellye Davis and Louise Simmons. Three
women on the front lines resisting the policies of white supremacy,
hate, division and fear that threaten democracy and our future. Three
fierce warriors in the forefront demanding workers' and immigrant
rights, social justice, peace and equality for a better and
sustainable world.
The
Awards will take place on Saturday, December 8 at 4 pm at the First
and Summerfield United Methodist Church at 425 College Street, New
Haven.
A
solidarity tribute will be made to Nelson Pinos
and his family in sanctuary at the church since last November.
Special recognition will be given to Chaz Carmon
director of Ice the Beef Youth for his extraordinary talent and
dedication to provide opportunities for young people in the
performing arts. St Lukes Steel Bank will perform. A reception will follow. It is a community potluck to benefit Nelson Pinos and family. Bring a dish if you like.
Eva
Bermudez Zimmerman
made history as the
first Puerto Rican candidate for Lt Governor in Connecticut. An SEIU
union organizer representing child care workers, her passion for
justice began as a child and touches communities everywhere.
Shellye
Davis
is
president of the Hartford Labor Coalition and co-president of the
Hartford Federation of Paraeducators affiliated with AFT Connecticut.
She is a leader for the rights of public sector union members and
the people they serve.
Louise
Simmons
is
an acclaimed educator and labor-community activist. She was a City
Councilperson in Hartford (People for Change Party), has led many
racial and economic justice organizations and has chaired CT Center
for a New Economy board.
The
annual Awards are presented to allies by the Connecticut People's
World Committee on the occasion of the 99th anniversary of
the Communist Party USA. We
come together in hope and unity as increased economic and racial
inequalities, climate change and war give rise to new organizing by
youth, low-wage workers and the 99% toward a society that puts people
and planet before corporate profits.
In
Solidarity,
People's
World Amistad Awards Committee
