Last Saturday, Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16) was honored with the Voice of the Voiceless award as part of Annunciation House's Voice of the Voiceless Awards recognizing individuals who have demonstrated exceptional courage, advocacy, and commitment to justice in the border region.
"I'm deeply honored to receive Annunciation House's Voice of the Voiceless award. To be recognized by an outstanding organization that does such meaningful work for our community is incredibly humbling," said Congresswoman Escobar. "Our country and our community were shaped by immigrants in search of a better life for themselves and their children. The work Annunciation House and countless other organizations do to fight for human dignity and justice is inspiring and a source of hope. This recognition is so meaningful to me. My work wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the incredible team I am privileged to work with in El Paso and in Washington, D.C. Their dedication and passion to the work we do is equally inspiring. I'm grateful to all the volunteers, lawyers, humanitarians and Americans who are fighting for a better world for everyone. May our efforts to help immigrants awaken compassion in others and encourage them to join the important work we are all doing."
