Consider making a donation to the Petra Foundation:
The Petra Foundation was established in 1988 to sustain the trajectory of Petra Tölle Shattuck‘s
life by honoring the kind of people she most admired – unsung
individuals making distinctive contributions to the rights, autonomy
and dignity of others.Each year since then, through a national search and nomination process, the Petra Foundation has recognized such leaders as Petra Fellows.
Often
at risk and without the safety net of personal privilege or
institutional support, Petra Fellows fight poverty, discrimination,
environmental degradation and violence. They work in prisons and police
departments, labor unions and migrant worker camps, health clinics,
housing projects, family farms and public schools – wherever people
lack the resources, education, connections or clout to participate
fully in American society. Armed with the fierce passion for justice
that inspired Petra Shattuck, they are fixing what’s broken in American
society.
