The Lawrence Coalition for Peace & Justice has announced winners for the 2013 annual Tom and Anne Moore Peace & Justice Award. The purpose of the award program is to promote peace and justice efforts in the local community and to recognize individuals or organizations who exemplify the goals of peace and justice through their practical and constructive work locally, nationally, or internationally.

This year's individual winner is Linda Lassen and the organization winning the 2013 award is the staff (paid and volunteer) at the Lawrence Community Shelter.

This award is given in recognition that the work of the shelter’s volunteers and staff is not only essential to the population they serve, but to the community and our city’s sense of moral obligation for the peace, justice and dignity of any Lawrencian no matter where they choose or are forced to sleep at night.

The staff includes Brian Blevins, Sally Bartlett, Dianne Huggins, Arnel Walker, Brad Cook, Dustin Allen, Andy Brown, Jesse Rowley, Steve Elder, Diane Elder, Kelly Martin and Elizabeth Stephens. Volunteers are too numerous to list here.
