As the Profile in Courage Award Committee reviewed nominations, one theme was clear: public servants who stood up to defend democracy. Today, we are proud to share that for the first time ever, the Profile in Courage Award will honor five individuals—President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Arizona Representative Russell “Rusty” Bowers, and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss—each chosen for their courage to protect and defend democracy in the United States and abroad.

More on this years winners, or earners as they earned the award through their actions.
