Dear Sir or Madam:

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a letter of support for Crystal Keck’s nomination for the North Carolina Awards. As director of a non-profit cultural organization, I have worked closely with Ms. Keck to co-organize the first Indigenous Peoples’ Day to take place in Alamance County in October of 2019. Both before and since that time, I have witnessed her extraordinary public service organizing, speaking, leading and inspiring people across the State of North Carolina on behalf of Climate Justice and Social Justice causes, as well as her advocacy for the cultural traditions and the rights of Indigenous Peoples. She works tirelessly for the public good of North Carolina with a spirit of generosity, and is, in my mind, absolutely deserving of A North Carolina Award.

Sincerely,

Tommy Noonan
