The FracTracker Alliance is now accepting nominations for the annual Community Sentinel Award for Environmental Stewardship.  Nominations are due October 29.

The Community Sentinel Award for Environmental Stewardship honors those who address the root causes of environmental injustice in the United States, with a strong focus on racial justice in the face of oil, gas, and petrochemical activity.

The award recognizes the leadership of those standing up for their communities to protect the places they love.

The award is presented to multiple recipients at a festive reception before a group of fellow activists and others who champion a healthy, sustainable future. Each awardee will also receive $1,000 in recognition of their efforts.
