Today we want to highlight one of our very own alumna Barbie Izquierdo and her achievement in winning the 2022 Global Citizen Pride Award – First in the USA!
Barbie Izquierdo (www.Barbie-Izquierdo.com) is a trailblazer in the movement to fight the exploitation of low-income communities and people of color who have been affected by public policy. This year’s #GCPrize Citizen Award USA recipient, she’s an expert on food insecurity and other social justice issues, an advocate, organizer, and consultant providing technical support on the engagement and inclusion of marginalized people. Her mission is to uplift dignity and bring equity into the frameworks used by policy makers, NGOs, and government entities that decide the fate of low-income communities.
