Hi John,

Courageous. Visionary. Dedicated. These are just a few of the ways our next New American Hero can be described. His leadership, deep roots in his community, and proud immigrant heritage are just a few of the reasons why I am honored to announce that Congressman Joaquin Castro is a 2024 New American Hero!

Congressman Joaquin Castro has represented his hometown of San Antonio in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2013. A proud second generation Mexican American and product of San Antonio’s public schools, he first served his community as a lawyer before winning a seat in the Texas Legislature at just 28 years old. Since then, he has committed himself to tirelessly advocating for policies that strengthen our democracy, support immigrant and working-class families, and create a more equitable future for us all. Having experienced America’s promise firsthand, he wants to help build out what he calls the "Infrastructure of Opportunity"—the great public schools and universities, sound health care system, and good-paying jobs that enable all Americans to pursue their dreams.

Hosted in the heart of Washington, DC during Immigrant Heritage Month, our 10th annual New American Hero Awards promises to be the best yet! RSVP today to join me and the rest of your NAL family as we celebrate Congressman Castro, our movement, and the leadership of New Americans across the country. 

In solidarity and celebration,
Ghida Dagher
