ABOUT NEW AMERICAN HERO AWARDS

Each year, the New American Hero Awards (NAHA) brings together the brightest and boldest leaders in our movement to honor the changemakers driving transformative change in our democracy. More than a celebration, NAHA is a powerful platform for elevating leadership, recognizing courage, and amplifying the voices shaping a more inclusive future for our nation.

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.
