## Resource

TinaMaria Fernandez, founder of Hope Esperanza in Lincoln County, just earned national acclaim with the George I. Sanchez Memorial Award at the NEA’s Human and Civil Rights Awards. One of just ten honorees nationwide, the award celebrates grassroots changemakers pushing for justice and inclusion. Fernandez credited her entire team—staff, volunteers, board, and families—for keeping Dr. Sanchez’s vision alive. Three other Nebraskans also received recognition, spotlighting the state’s powerful community impact. This honor is a rallying cry for the everyday heroes building stronger, more welcoming communities across America.
