Pax Christi International, the global Catholic peace movement whose focus is “to transform a world shaken by violence, terrorism, deepening inequalities, and global insecurity” has named the No Boundaries Coalition, an OSI-Baltimore grantee, the recipient of its 2018 Peace Award. No Boundaries, a community advocacy organization that played a key role in ensuring that the Consent Decree was shaped by Baltimore residents’ concerns, will be the first organization to receive this honor in the United States in 25 years.
Pax Christi International will recognize No Boundaries CEO Ray Kelly (pictured), COO Ashiah Parker, and the entire No Boundaries Coalition at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore September 15, at 7 p.m. A reception will follow at St. Peter Claver, 8:30-10 p.m.
OSI-Baltimore will honor Kelly and Caryn York, executive director of the Job Opportunities Task Force, with its “Strategic Action” awards at the second event in OSI’s 20th Anniversary Speaker Series on September 25th, featuring a keynote conversation with Senator Barbara Mikulski and Rashad Robinson, CEO of Color of Change.
