Community Town Hall: Preparing for 2025

The national results of the recent general election caused a wave of shock through many progressive organizations in the country and here in the Bay Area.

Join us for a live town hall with speakers from leading LGBTQ organizations, including SF AIDS Foundation, LYRIC, NCLR, SF Pride, El/La Para Translatina, SF HRC, EQCA, SF Office Transgender Initiative and more to come. They'll discuss the election results, its impact on various LGBTQ communities, and plans to respond.

After the program, stick around for a reception.
