2013 Award Honoree

Courageous Citizen

We salute Carl Dubler for his strong stance on truth and justice. In 2009, Carl Dubler was summoned to serve as a juror in a double-murder death penalty case. He was chosen as the jury foreman and had to lead eleven others through a grueling ten-week trial and a life-or-death judgment.

This is how he came to know the lives of Javad and Vivian, the two murder victims.

Scarlet Jiminez

2012 Award Honoree

Youth Activism

Scarlet Jiminez is an outgoing, highly motivated youth activist. As president of the student council at Hinkley High School Scarlet worked with her peers to organize a student walk out and protest.

Scarlet and more than 100 of her peers at Hinkley "took to the streets" to protest the potential non-renewals of 10 Aurora Public Schools teachers.

The Aurora Public Schools Board of Education let go of three Hinkley High School teachers due to "unsatisfactory performance". Scarlett Jiminez, 16, was a student of a teacher who was laid off. She said she hadn't been paying attention to the plight of public education until her favorite teacher's job was at risk — social studies teacher Tom Bergen. "He was such an amazing teacher, one that inspires you, he inspired me," she said.

She hopes her fellow comrades recognize the importance of standing up for teachers like Bergen. "I hope that people get involved and take a stand within the community because we deserve to, We can't just sit there and take it anymore."

Currently Scarlet is working to re-instate comprehensive reproductive health education into Aurora Public School system to decrease the number of student's pregnant at Hinkley High school from 120 to less than 100. Scarlet is also passionate about improving the quality of education for all students attending school in Original Aurora. Although she is in the International Baccalaureate program at Hinkley High School, she recognizes this "scholarly haven" is not available to students throughout original Aurora. Scarlet seeks to develop more educational and positive opportunities for youth in Aurora and believes education is the civil rights movement of this era!
