JPAC is deeply honored to share that our Executive Director, Gladys Muñoz, has been recognized with the Emmy Lou Cholak Love Ambassador Award for Social Justice. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Grand Traverse for this meaningful recognition and for their continued support.
In the words of Emmy Lou Cholak herself, “Love isn’t only something we feel or profess—it’s something we organize, advocate, and show up for.” Gladys embodies this truth through her unwavering commitment to justice, compassion, and community. She is truly a Love Ambassador.
You can watch the full service in the video below. The award presentation begins around the 45:30 mark, followed by Gladys sharing her personal story, stories about the kind of work JPAC does, reflections on our growth over the years and the current immigration landscape, as well as the values that guide our organization.
