Celebrating LGBTQ+ Network Leaders Driving Change Through Policy

The diversity of this Network is what makes it strong.

This Pride Month we’re celebrating the work of some of many Network leaders who identify as LGBTQ+. Below leaders explain how their identity informs their approach to advocacy. Interested in sharing your voice or nominating a colleague to be featured during Pride Month? Reach out.

Please check back as we continue to add leaders in the coming days.
