“Mighty Earth Chairman Henry Waxman has been honored with Bill Maher’s inaugural “Baldy Award.”

As Maher quotes, “50 percent of the social safety net was created by Henry Waxman when no one was looking.” And that’s the thing about being a workhorse instead of a show horse: no one is looking.

Ultimately, that’s the spirit we’re striving to emulate at Mighty Earth – drive transformative impact even if no one is looking.
