Nominations
are
being
accepted
for
the
omar
bondarood
human
rights
awards.
This
award
is
presented
by
the
human

commission
to
an
individual
or
organization
that
has
made
a
significant
contribution
to
ensuring

the

A
list
of
prior
recipients
of
the
award
really
shows
a
diversity
in
terms
of
human
rights
struggles,
as
well
as
the
diversity
of
venues
in
which
human
rights
contributions
take
place
every
day.
So
this
past
year
has
been
really
challenging,
but
that
has
really
brought
out
the
best
in
so
many
people
and
groups
of
people
to
step
up
whether
that
be
fighting
injustices,
helping
out
individuals
that
are
struggling
unemployment.

july
31,
through
august
6,
the
city
clerk's
office
hosted
a

It
was
a
chance
for
residents
to
ask
questions
and
get
familiar
with
the
method.
C
I
was
here
for
the
passports,
renewal,
passports
and
then
I
was
approached
by
the
election
judge
regarding
the
new
changes
in
the
election
system
here
in
bloomington,
and
I
actually
wasn't
even
aware
of
it
and
yeah,
so
she
explained
the
whole
process
she
made
me
and
my
daughter
do
the
whole
experience
I
actually
have
to
say
I've
never
voted
before
so
this
time.
I
will
definitely
come
back
in
november.
