New Americans are the heroes saving our democracy.
We’re here to honor them.

This Immigrant Heritage Month, New American Leaders will be celebrating their 11th annual New American Hero Awards!

Each year, the New American Hero Awards (NAHA) brings together the brightest and boldest leaders in our movement to honor those of immigrant backgrounds who are driving transformative change in our democracy. At this critical moment, when the fight for an inclusive future is more important than ever, we invite you to join us at the historic Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, June 26, 2025!

This annual event is more than just a celebration—it is a powerful call to uplift and amplify the voices shaping our nation’s future. Be part of this inspiring evening as we recognize leaders who are trailblazing the way to create a nation that reflects the true diversity of our communities. Semi-formal or cocktail attire is requested.
