The year's gala was our most inspiring and hopeful event yet! With 600 guests in attendance, including creatives and executives from entertainment and advertising, we honored people and projects exercising “resistance through art.” The night's honorees were HBO’s The Night Of, Oscar-winner The White Helmets, and The Amplifier Foundation’s #WeThePeople campaign. We also recognized Microsoft, Coca-Cola and other advertisers for their inclusive and unifying ads. Visit media-awards.mpac.org for more.

The Amplifier Foundation

Amplifier Foundation artist and poet Mark Gonzales shared the message that drives their "We the People" campaign. "We must defend dignity. We must be greater than fear. We must protect each other. We the resilient have been here before, and in order to get where we need to go, we must be indivisible." ---------- Watch all videos from the 2017 MPAC Media Awards playlist. http://bit.ly/2r2DPfo Presented by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) Hollywood Bureau.
