The American Ethical Union honored Free Your Voice with the 2017 Elliott-Black Award at our 102nd Assembly, “Bmorethical2017: Communities Confronting Systemic Racism,” in Baltimore, Maryland.

Free Your Voice is a Baltimore youth group that fights for environmental justice. It was started by, and is composed of, students at Ben Franklin High School (a Baltimore City public school). They rallied their community to protect the health of residents and engage in political action that betters their lives.
