Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg receive the American Bar Association Unsung Heroes of Democracy Award

The American Bar Association has awarded Pillars of the Community Co-chairs Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg the Unsung Heroes of Democracy Award. 

The award recognizes those individuals and organizations who work every day, often behind the scenes or without fanfare, to ensure that our elections are secure and that the democratic ideals set forth in the U.S. Constitution are upheld. 

“Our democracy and our election process have been under attack in recent years,” ABA President Mary Smith said. “With our Unsung Heroes of Democracy Award, the ABA wants to recognize those individuals and groups that have answered the call to stand up for our system of government. By simply doing their jobs, they help ensure our democratic system will endure. By honoring these people and organizations, we hope we can inspire more people to become involved and to protect democracy and the rule of law.”
