The Creative Activism Awards (CAA) were created by director Iara Lee as a way of recognizing artists, musicians, poets, writers, designers, dancers, and other creators whose work is connected to human rights, the environment, economic and global justice, and cultural resistance.
The awards were designed to encourage recipients to maintain and expand their important work in pursuit of social justice and creative expression.
