Did you hear the news? We just announced two more inspiring figures as our 2023 New American Hero awardees: U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng and Portland, Maine City Councilor Pious Ali! We’re honoring these remarkable leaders on June 22nd in Washington, D.C., and we couldn't be more excited to share their stories with you.

Congresswoman Grace Meng, a true champion for New Americans, made history by becoming the first Asian American ever elected to Congress in New York. She has dedicated her tenure in Congress to advocate for New American communities and communities of color, reintroducing the New Deal for New Americans Act and passing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act to combat anti-Asian hate. Congresswoman Meng's tireless efforts reflect the spirit of a true New American Hero, and we can't wait to celebrate her at our New American Hero Awards party.

In addition, we will be honoring Portland City Councilor Pious Ali, an inspiring beacon for Maine's New American communities. As the longest-serving city councilmember and the first-ever African-born Muslim American elected in Maine, Councilor Ali has tirelessly worked to foster immigrant leaders across the state and throughout the Northeast. His commitment to building New American power epitomizes what it means to be a New American Hero.
