Dear Friends,

Asian Americans Advancing Justice - AAJC has the privilege to honor individuals in the Asian American community who have shown extraordinary courage and commitment to civil and human rights. We call upon you to help us identify an individual or organization who deserves to be recognized at our annual signature event, the
American Courage Awards. We plan to host the event this October.

In the past year, so many of you stepped up to help our communities most in need and we know there is a diverse group of deserving nominees. Nominate them today so we can pay full tribute to their outstanding work on behalf of the Asian American community. All nominations are due today, March 29, 2023. The descriptions of the award categories are below:

The American Courage Award goes to an individual, company, or organization that has shown extraordinary courage or commitment to the cause of civil rights. This may include a community leader who has taken an important stand, an activist who overcame extraordinary challenges, an artist with a unique vision, or a journalist breaking an important story.

The Changemaker Award honors an individual, company, or organization who is a catalyst for change. This may include an entrepreneur or activist whose leadership has inspired action that has led to change on a local or national level that benefits Asian American communities.

The Norman Y. Mineta Spirit Award recognizes a youth advocate whose community-centered leadership has exemplified dedication, compassion, and resilience benefitting Asian Americans on a local or national level. This may include a student who has taken an active role and interest in working with their community.
