The Way of Courage (Lithuanian: Drąsos Kelias) is a populist political party in Lithuania. It was founded in 2012 and has an anti-corruption platform.
The party was established by supporters of Drąsius Kedys, who claimed that justice officials had whitewashed a ring of pedophiles after his daughter had been sexually molested. Kedys died under unclear circumstances in 2010. Among the party's founders is Neringa Venckienė, a former judge. The party's name alludes to Kedys' first name Drąsius which means "the brave". The goals include changes in the justice system, e.g. the establishment of trial by jury. In 2012 General Election the party gained approximately 8% of the popular vote.
