Friend –

The ACLU of Iowa works to defend everyone's rights—even when it isn't popular, even when no one else will – and we are interested in recognizing a young person who encapsulates that same spirit.

Nominations are now open for the ACLU of Iowa Robert Mannheimer Advocacy Award! <[link removed]> It's a $500 cash prize given to a young Iowan aged 14 to 19 who has demonstrated a passion and advocacy for civil liberties, such as:

* Free speech and free expression

* LGBTQ issues

* Immigrants' rights

* Racial justice

* Gender equality

* Reproductive rights

* Religious freedom

* Disability rights

* Government and technology issues

Who Can Make a Nomination:

Anyone familiar with a young person's accomplishments is encouraged to nominate one or multiple young people. That means parents, teachers, guardians, religious leaders, advocacy groups, community leaders, another young person, and others may make a nomination. A young person may also submit their own nomination.
