WAVE (Women for American Values and Ethics) receives a Profile in Courage Award at the 2020 Truman Awards Virtual Celebration “The Room Where It Happened” hosted by the Democratic Party of Orange County. These awards honor the legacy of President Harry Truman, who fought for a brighter, more inclusive future for all Americans. WAVE is grateful to receive this award as a testimony to the leadership of Joanna Weiss, the dedication of our leadership team, and the hard work of each and every one of our members. WAVE will continue to devote our resources and effort towards advancing progressive values and ethics by engaging, educating, and empowering our communities.
As Joanna said in her acceptance speech, “WAVE’s successes are part of a larger piece of the activist community in Orange County, and we are grateful for the many community partners, allies and volunteers with whom we work. While we are living in uncertain times, we are confident that the trying times have forged an incredibly strong Orange County community whose work will continue into 2022 and beyond…”
