Do you have a Human Rights Hero you want to tell the world about? Well, then you’re in the right place.
Introducing the 2013 Human Rights People’s Choice Award Contest, where people just like you nominate and vote for their Human Rights Hero.
To take part, just log on to our Human Rights Awards website to nominate and vote for your Human Rights Hero/Heroine.
Share the story of a person or organization working for human rights, whether they’re building a movement to end the Mexico drug war, empowering women, promoting local farming — tell us who inspires YOU!
You can nominate as many individuals and organizations as you like, but of course you can only vote for each nominee once. After you’ve nominated, make sure to spread the word to your networks to increase your honoree’s odds of winning.
The last day to nominate and vote is March 22, 2013.
UPDATE: The last day to nominate and vote has been extended to March 26, 2013.
Your nominations and votes help determine who will win the People’s Choice Award and take home $1,000 to support their work.
Past People’s Choice honorees include Bradley Manning, Mexican Poet/Activist Javier Sicilia and Cambodian human rights activist Mu Sochua.
The power to choose this year’s People’s Choice Award winner is in your hands. Help us celebrate everyday human rights heroes and heroines.
