2022 Community Sentinel Awards

​To honor our community's environmental heroes, FracTracker Alliance created the Community Sentinel Award for Environmental Stewardship. The annual award ceremony celebrates individuals whose noble actions exemplify the transformative power of committed and engaged people. In collaboration with our sponsors and partners, the award is presented to multiple recipients at a virtual reception before fellow activists, allies and conspirators, all of whom are working towards a healthier and more just future.

​This year the Community Sentinel Awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, December 8th. We also welcome our partners and community members to submit the names of activists who have passed away over the last year, so that we may honor their lives and their work during the Legacy of Heroes presentation during the awards ceremony.

​There is a suggested ticket donation of $20 but community members can pay any amount or take advantage of the free ticket option!

​Here are this year's winners - help us celebrate them on December 8th!

• ​Cesar Aguirre - Central California Environmental Justice Network (CCEJN), California

​The event will feature inspirational speakers, music and art, and recognition and celebration of the Sentinel Award winners. The ceremony will be followed by an optional virtual post-party where attendees can mingle and give words of support to the award recipients.
