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

One night each year, the brightest, boldest leaders in our movement come together at the annual New American Hero Awards. Celebrating our movement’s work and supporting our fellow leaders, this event recognizes the democracy-saving efforts of people like us. 

In 2024, we are thrilled to host our 10th annual New American Hero Awards on June 27th at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in the heart of Washington, DC! We will be joined by elected officials, community and business leaders, New American Leaders alumni, and political leaders from across the country for an evening full of music, art, and dancing. But most importantly, we will come together to recognize the incredible contributions of immigrants to our democracy, including our soon-to-be-announced 2024 honorees.

The only thing we are missing is you! 

RSVP and get your ticket today! Spaces will go quickly so be sure to save your spot at the can’t-miss party of the summer.

Want to help take our celebrations to the next level? Please see our sponsorship packet for more information on how you can join us in recognizing this year’s trailblazing leaders.
