Why Recognition Matters to Our Mission

Every award represents more than achievement—it's ammunition for advocacy. When Code Green is recognized, marginalized women's solutions reach new audiences. Resources redirect toward grassroots innovation. Systems begin to question who they've traditionally honored and why.

These platforms prove our core belief: those who've experienced injustice possess unique expertise in creating justice.
