I apologize if you receive this more than once.

> 	The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington is seeking
> recommendations for the organization's annual Youth Activist Award.  This
> award is presented to a young person (age 22 or younger) or group of young
> people whose activism exemplifies work to defend and extend liberty and
> justice for within Washington.  The activism may be focused on civil
> liberties issues in school or in the general community.  
> 	
> 	The award winner will be chosen this spring and will receive the
> award next fall at the ACLU's Bill of Rights Celebration Dinner in
> Seattle.  The most recent recipient was the Gay-Straight Alliance of
> Emerald Ridge High School in Puyallup for successfully staging a "Day of
> Silence" to promote tolerance for gay students despite vocal opposition
> from some people in the wider community.
> 
> 	Recommendations should come in the form of a paragraph describing
> what the  person has accomplished and why this is notable.  We need to
> receive recommendations ASAP.
