CVH Celebrates 15 Years of Building Power Among Low-Income New Yorkers!
On June 2nd, 2011, Community Voices Heard celebrated our 15th anniversary at the Museum of the City of New York…And it was quite an affair! Our evening was filled with laughter, fun, dancing and camaraderie. We presented the Hon. Shirley Chisholm Lights of Freedom Awards to Juan Gonzalez, David Hansell, Frances Fox Piven, and Lillian Roberts who are setting the standard in media, government, academia and labor. The society our membership aims to build cannot be created alone, and it is great to have people like these honorees on our side. Thank you to Cause Effective for their support in helping us pull off this event, and Mertz-Gilmore Foundation for supporting the partnership.
Check out our 15th anniversary video which debuted on June 2nd and shares the history, spirit and vision of CVH.
