We are honored to announce an exciting new addition to our upcoming RDI Heroes of Democracy Gala. Senator John Fetterman will join us as our fourth and final honoree as we celebrate his unflinching advocacy for our democratic allies in Ukraine and Israel in the face of both personal challenges and loud criticism from detractors on the political fringes.
Senator Fetterman will accept his award alongside Representative Adam Kinzinger, another stalwart advocate for America’s friends around the world who endured personal trials of his own in the form of vicious attacks from the far-right as he sought accountability for the January 6 insurrection.
Fetterman, a Democrat, and Kinzinger, a Republican, embody RDI’s emphasis on patriotism over partisanship and the fundamental values of democracy. They join Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who has made her tiny nation a cornerstone of the democratic alliance by standing tall against Vladimir Putin, and Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who weathered abuse from the most powerful political forces in the country simply for performing an essential public service—working the polls on election day.
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.
