The Raza Press Association is accepting nominations for its annual 2006 GUERRILLERO/A DE LA PLUMA AWARD. The award is given to individuals who have done exemplary work and effort in building a press/media that works for the liberation of La Raza. We are talking about Raza who have written books and/or articles that inform and defend our communities; or individuals who have been key to the publication of newspapers and newsletters whose objective is to raise the consciousness of the people and expose the oppressive and inhumane nature of capitalism and imperialism.

To nominate someone or to personally petition to be considered for this truly progressive and liberation recognition, you must send to the RPA a 150-word (or less) statement describing why the accomplishments of the individual you are recommending merit the 2006 GUERRILLERO/A DE LA PLUMA AWARD.

You must send your nomination statement to info@razapressassociation.org by January 5, 2007.

The winner of this year¹s award will be announced by January 10, 2007. She or he, will then be asked to be present at the first RPA meeting of the year to be held on January 20, 2007, in San Diego, Califas. RPA will pay for the transportation and hotel expenses of the winner while he/she is in San Diego.

Submit your nomination now.
