ABOUT THE NEW AMERICAN HERO AWARDS

June 11, 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Washington, D.C. (Venue address shared after ticket purchase)

The New American Hero Awards (NAHA) is our annual celebration honoring trailblazers who are shaping a more inclusive democracy through leadership, service, and impact. This inspiring evening brings together elected officials, partners, donors, and community leaders to celebrate the power of New American leadership and the movement advancing representation nationwide.

This year, we are honored to celebrate the 12th annual New American Hero Awards during Immigrant Heritage Month in Washington, D.C. This year carries special significance as the nation marks its 250th anniversary, reflecting on the state of our democracy, and looking ahead to what the next era must demand and deliver.

Guests will enjoy a four-course sit-down dinner in an unforgettable setting, paired with meaningful storytelling, powerful honoree moments, and the chance to connect with leaders committed to building a democracy that reflects all of us.
