From Harvey Milk to Adrienne Rich, some of the most pioneering activists have shared a common Jewish background. In this moderated discussion, we’ll delve into the intersections between Jewish cultural heritage and activist work for and by the LGBT community.
Panelists include:
Frank Kameny, a leading figure in the gay rights movement who petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court with the first civil rights claim based on sexual orientation. He also coined the term “Gay is Good”;
Anne Kronenberg, Harvey Milk’s 1977 campaign manager and current Director of Policy and Planning at the San Francisco Department of Public Health;
Dr. Dana Beyer, the first transgender candidate for State Delegate in the Maryland House of Delegates, and current Vice President of Equality Maryland;
Robert Raben, former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General under the Clinton Administration, served as Counsel to Congressman Barney Frank, and is the founder and current President of The Raben Group, LLC; and others.
The panel will be moderated by Winnie Stachelberg, the Senior Vice President for External Affairs at the Center for American Progress. Prior to that role, she served as Vice President of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the nation's largest gay civil rights organization.
