Previous awardees embodied community justice work for peacemaking\, healthcare\, marriage equality\, women’s rights\, LGBTQIA youth empowerment\, affordable housing environmental standards\, life-long justice and faith advocacy\, and asylum seekers.” \nUnder the 2023 theme\, “Bending the Arc: Embracing our Core Values\,” custom designed and installed decor will transform the Pavilion into a festive bazaar featuring international foods\, music\, awards\, raffles\, and shopping.
