We call upon you to help us identify an individual or organization who deserves to be recognized at our annual signature event, the American Courage Awards. We plan to host this event on October 6, 2022.

In the past year, so many of you stepped up to help our communities most in need and we know there is a diverse group of deserving nominees. Nominate them today so we can fully pay tribute to their outstanding work on behalf of the Asian American community. All nominations are due by Monday, March 28, 2022. The description of the award categories is 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.
