GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders has been tirelessly fighting for LGBTQ+ justice in the courts and through legislative and policy advocacy for over 45 years. The current climate and resurgence in anti-LGBTQ+ laws have made this work even more urgent – and together, we can keep fighting and keep advancing toward equality.

We invite you to join us in Palm Springs, CA, for a conversation about what we can take from our shared history of LGBTQ+ rights advocacy to chart the path forward.
