Founded by Irshad Manji, the Moral Courage Project inspires people to speak their truths, live with integrity and have impact. The project’s award-winning YouTube channel, Moral Courage TV, shows how to transcend fear to do the right thing. Whether breaking up a gang, defying a bully, or reforming an unjust tradition, our profiles in moral courage prove that individual action can serve a greater good.
