The FracTracker Alliance is now accepting nominations for the 2022 Community Sentinel Award for Environmental Stewardship to 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 deadline for nominations is October 28.

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

To honor these environmental heroes, FracTracker Alliance created the annual Community Sentinel Award for Environmental Stewardship, now in its eighth year, to celebrate individuals whose noble actions exemplify the transformative power of caring, committed, and engaged people.

In collaboration with a supportive lineup of sponsors and partners, 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.

The honores will be recognized during a virtual ceremony on December 8.
