As NewGround marks its 20th year,

We are eager to announce that our Trailblazer honorees will be

Mohsen Mahdawi and Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller.

The honorees have been at the forefront of critical conversations about Israel Palestine, and especially the ways free speech and protest has been exercised -- and curtailed - in our fragile democracy here in the US. We look forward to sharing more about our honorees, and we hope you'll join us for this powerful event.
