Rev. James Lawson

Rachael Worby, Artistic Director and Creator, MUSE/IQUE

Twenty years ago, only days after the devastating 9/11 attacks, the late Rev. George F. Regas brought together Christians, Jews, Muslims, Quakers, humanists and people of many other faiths and beliefs to found Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace. Acutely aware that this dire moment posed a grave threat to peace and justice, George knew instinctively that peacemakers needed to create a place to gather, organize, pray, and act together united by the fundamental principle that Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.

You are warmly invited to join us in person or online to celebrate ICUJP's 20th Anniversary, honoring Rev. Regas's life and legacy. The celebration will include the 2021 George F. Regas Courageous Peacemaker Awards, recognizing people and organizations whose work exemplifies Rev. Regas's principles of peace and justice. (Please note that the in-person event will strictly adhere to all COVID restrictions required by the Pasadena Public Health Department and the CDC at that time.)

We're thrilled to honor:

U.S. Representative Judy Chu, D-CA-27

for her ongoing commitment to justice and peace

In addition, we will honor the following organizations for their steadfast peace and justice efforts and for serving and advocating for people impacted by the Covid pandemic:

• All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena
• Black-Jewish Justice Alliance
• Clergy & Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE)
• Friends Committee on National Legislation CA Advocacy Team
• Housing Works
• ILM (Intellect Love Mercy) Foundation
