The Nancy E. Peace Action Against Prejudice Award was established in 1998 by the YWCA Greater Newburyport to recognize individuals who, through their professional or volunteer lives have made valuable contributions towards eliminating racism, fighting prejudice and celebrating diversity. This award is given out at the Martin Luther King event annually.
The mission of the YWCA is peace, justice, dignity and freedom for all. This vision can not be achieved until there is racial equality in our nation. This is a challenging yet critical conversation in communities such as ours with predominantly white populations.
The YWCA welcomes nominations for any adult or youth who lives or works in one of the communities served by the YWCA Greater Newburyport: Newburyport, Newbury, West Newbury, Amesbury, Merrimac, Salisbury, Georgetown, Rowley and Ipswich MA. – and – Seabrook, Hampton, Hampton Falls and Kensington, NH.
