The Courage Awards provide a unique opportunity to connect with a network of Northwest public media supporters working to make our region stronger, smarter, and more connected to each other. Essential funds raised at the event directly support Crosscut’s in-depth journalism, elevating our public media as the public good that it is. For the 2017 awards, we will be honoring leaders who have reached across political, social, cultural or ideological lines to build bridges and common ground.
