On October 9, Nebraska Appleseed will gather again to celebrate the outstanding contributions of individuals and organizations who have stood up for justice and opportunity for all during the 2025 Good Apple Awards. We are proud to recognize this year’s honorees.
The Jim Wolf Equal Justice Award recognizes Nebraskans who have made significant contributions to justice for all throughout their career. They have devoted themselves to public service to benefit the common good, and responded to adversarial and difficult circumstances facing others.
“Rev. Carol Windrum has been a tireless advocate for justice in Nebraska for more than 40 years. She has advocated for the minimum wage and workers’ rights, for Black Lives Matter, the rights of immigrant people, the rights of LGBTQ+ people, against the death penalty, against the Keystone XL pipeline, and many, many more issues. On any given week, you can find Carol volunteering in her church, preaching for social justice, bearing witness with fellow clergy, mentoring the next generations of social justice advocates in Nebraska, calling or visiting her senators’ offices, testifying at hearings in the Nebraska Legislature, penning letters to the editor, protesting in the streets, gathering for immigrant rights, and even joining national protests such as Occupy Wall Street and the People’s Climate March. Carol’s work and witness have helped to shape the terrain of social justice in Nebraska.” – Jaimee Trobough, Communications Associate
