BOSTON, MA – The 2026 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award® will be presented to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for protecting the independence of the Federal Reserve, which is critical to the stability of the global economy, despite years of personal attacks and threats from the highest levels of government. The people of the Twin Cities of Minnesota will also be honored for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members from an unprecedented federal law enforcement operation, peacefully defending the human rights and values that serve as the foundation of our Constitutional democracy.

The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award is presented annually by the JFK Library Foundation to public servants for making a courageous decision of conscience without regard for the personal or professional consequences. Caroline Kennedy and Jack Schlossberg will present the award at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum on May 31, 2026 in Boston, MA.
  
Statement from Kennedy and Schlossberg:
“This year’s honorees represent the courage of those who serve in all areas of government–and those who believe in it. Without public servants of integrity committed to maintaining the highest standards of institutional excellence and independence like Chair Powell, and citizens willing to put their lives on the line to hold America to its promises, our democracy can’t survive. This year we honor the courage of those who didn’t seek elected office but have demonstrated moral courage across our society.”
