NYC Pride Announces Featured Speakers For Conference And Rally

Pride announces details of The Conference and The Rally, important events that foster dialogue about issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community, pvide immersive sessions that explore human rights around the world, and call for protest and action.

This year's Conference will combine presentations and discussions, politics and policies, and academics and activism. The Rally will bring the community together to advocate for change at a time when over 300 antiLGBTQIA+ bills are in play, a critical midterm election looms, and much remains at stake at Federal levels, including the Supreme Court, on-going efforts to pass the Equality Act, and other legislation important to the fight for liberation, equity, and civil rights.

"These unique events provide us with an important opportunity to gather in conversation on Thursday at the Conference and channel those discussions into advocacy at The Rally the next day," said NYC Pride Executive Director Sandra Pérez. "With a multitude of challenges threatening our human rights, creating space to connect over our shared experiences and making our voices heard is critical during Pride month when the LGBTQIA+ community is gathered together in solidarity."
