A Brief History of American Courage Award Awardees

Dear friends,

This year, Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC marks a milestone as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. We hope that you can be part of the festivities and help us identify an individual or organization who has shown extraordinary commitment to civil rights as we call for nominations for our annual signature event, the American Courage Awards. This year will be the 25th ceremony.

In the past year, we saw so many of you step up to help our communities most in need, and we know there is a diverse group of deserving nominees. We need your help to nominate them so we can fully recognize these courageous individuals and organizations. All nominations are due by Sunday, February 28, 2021. The description 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, student, or activist whose leadership has inspired action that has led to change on a local or national level that benefits Asian American communities.
