You’re invited to RDI’s

Heroes of Democracy Gala

We invite you to join us for an evening of dinner, drinks, and celebration at RDI’s second annual Heroes of Democracy Gala this spring. Check out more details online here.

This year we are proud to honor Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who has unwaveringly stood up to autocrats, Representative Adam Kinzinger, who has been a stalwart advocate for democracy and freedom on and off the Hill, and the courageous Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who did their duty in 2020 despite unprecedented personal attacks from election deniers.

The Gala will be held the evening of April 4, 2024 at Gotham Hall in New York City. We hope you will join us to honor these remarkable individuals. Secure your spot today by purchasing a ticket or table sponsorship. Please contact RDI’s Director of Stewardship Caitlin Forrest at [email protected] with any questions and for more information.

2024 Awardees

Estonian Prime Minister

Kaja Kallas

The Russian government put her on a wanted list, but the prime minister of the tiny nation of Estonia stands tall in the face of tyrants and demonstrates why her country is a cornerstone of the democratic alliance.

Ruby Freeman and

Shaye Moss

There’s no democracy without the right to vote, and there’s no right to vote without poll workers. Since 2020, this mother-daughter duo from Georgia has faced vicious attacks for performing that essential public service.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger

Representative Adam Kinzinger put patriotism over party when he led the way in investigating the January 6 insurrection. A stalwart advocate for freedom and democracy, Rep. Kinzinger has also championed American leadership and assistance to Ukraine on and off of Capitol Hill.
