Peter Brown, long time activist for Human and Civil Rights, was recognized at the Human and Civil Rights Dinner at the Atlanta, GA RA. Peter received the same award Paul Mann received in 2007, the Applegate Dorras Human and Civil Rights Award for international activism. Peter continues to run our Chiapas Schools co sponsored by the Peace and Justice Caucus of the NEA. It was an exciting night to watch Peter get due recognition. President Jimmy Carter also was recognized. His grandson, who also has to make appointments to see his grandfather,
received the award for the 84 year old president who was traveling at the time.
NEA caucuses are internal member-only groups. Caucuses exist and operate independently of NEA and have no authority to speak for, or act on behalf of, NEA.
NEA Peace & Justice Caucus will advocate that the NEA works to:
- Reduce violence.
- Promote tolerance.
- Increase awareness of basic human and civil rights.
- Support the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively.
- Work for world peace & disarmament.
- Reduce the military budget and increase funding for education and other social needs.
