For those of you who helped out with the Imagining Ourselves project (and that's a lot of you), you'll be pleased to know it won another award...the Voices of Courage award.
You'll note from the link that it appears to be an award for an individual. But what I said in my acceptance speech (which I actually had team members read as I was unable to fly to SF for the ceremony) is that I was accepting the award on behalf of the literally thousands of people in more than 100 countries whose acts of generosity made the project's success possible. It's extremely humbling when we step back and think about how profoundly dependent we all are on one another, and how the little things we do (that we don't even take seriously ourselves, usually) add up to huge impact. If you even spent a second forwarding the website to friends, that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. You helped. We depended on that kind of thing.
Thank you.
