Karen’s work at Centro Hispano of Dane County is the kind of work so desperately needed in these times of divisiveness and fear. As the inaugural recipient of the award, Karen exemplifies what it means to work hard and tirelessly and fearlessly for a cause. She works nonstop to fight against the riffs caused by immigrant-baiting and the type of immigrant “reform” that threatens the stability of families. According to Karen, receiving the “March for Justice” award was a bright spot after months of darkness. Coller said, “It provided a big lift, knowing that we are not alone in this fight for justice.”
Hers is the kind of work that inspires all of us to fearlessly use our money, time and resources to end racial disparities and injustices.
