Dear John,

Each year, the Women’s and Fair Practices Departments award the Augusta Y. Thomas Civil Rights Award to four dedicated unionists who exemplify what it means to be true champions for civil, human, women, and workers’ rights in four areas of service:

• Education and Training
• Organizing and Member Mobilization
• Legislative and Political Action
• Representation through Litigation

Click here to learn more about the requirements for this award and to fill out an electronic nomination form.

We encourage AFGE locals, councils, districts, and general members to nominate individuals who exemplify NVP Emeritus Augusta Y. Thomas’s legacy of fighting for a more just workplace, union, and world. Learn more about Augusta Y. Thomas here.

The deadline for submitting nominations is January 27, 2023, at 5 PM ET. All winners will be announced and awarded during the Civil Rights Luncheon at the 2023 Legislative Conference.

In Solidarity,

Jeremy A. Lannan
