 *Call for Nominations: 2010 Mario Savio Young Activist Award*



http://www.savio.org
The Board of Directors of the Mario Savio Memorial Lecture & Young Activist
Award, housed at Tides Foundation, invites you to nominate a candidate for
the 13th annual Young Activist Award. The award this year carries a cash
prize of $6000, divided equally between the prize-winner and his or her
organization.

This award is presented to a young person (or persons) with a deep
commitment to human rights and social justice and a proven ability to
transform this commitment into effective action.  The nominees should have
demonstrated leadership ability, creativity and integrity.

Specific eligibility requirements are:

   - Between ages 16-26
   - Engaged in activism for social change, promoting the values of peace,
   human rights, economic or social justice, or freedom of expression;
   - *This year preference will be given to activism for economic justice*,
   broadly interpreted.
   - Acting within the context of an organization, social movement, or
   larger community effort;
   - Considered an inspirational leader or motivating force by others in
   that context;
   - Work is centered in the United States;
   - Able to attend award ceremony in Berkeley, CA (Oct.-Nov.; expenses
   paid).

Preference will be given to candidates who have not yet been widely
recognized and who do not have personal privilege or a strong institutional
base of support.

*This award honors the late Mario Savio (1942-1996), who came to national
prominence as a spokesperson for the Berkeley Free Speech Movement in 1964.
His moral clarity, his eloquence, and his democratic style of leadership
impelled thousands of his fellow Berkeley students to struggle for, and win,
more political freedom, inspiring a generation of student activism.  Savio
remained a lifelong fighter for human rights and social justice.  *

*Nominations are due by June 30, 2010*.  Nomination forms and additional
information are available at www.savio.org or e-mail: savio at sonic dot net
