The Free Expression Awards is an annual event that honors the achievements of First Amendment heroes for their courageous acts of free expression.

This year, we honor:

• A pastor who built a powerful movement against poverty, inequality and racism.
• A country music superstar who uses his voice to spur dialogue, not division, on tough issues confronting America.
• Sixteen Montana youth who sued their government over laws that contributed to the climate crisis and won.
• A global impact nonprofit that revolutionized television with its dedication to educating children through the groundbreaking program “Sesame Street.”

Join us on Thursday, June 13, to celebrate their commitment to free expression and the First Amendment.
