Friday's event: How to vote for LGBTQ equality in Georgia’s June 9 primary

We’re launching a new thing on Friday – please join us.

It’s a pandemic. Protests over police brutality are filling the streets. Calls for justice and equality are growing louder. In the middle of the chaos, it’s also primary day in Georgia on June 9. What’s happening around us shows that voting is still as important as ever.

Join our Q Conversation on Friday, June 5 at noon to hear from LGBTQ advocates Jeff Graham, Kenyatta Mitchell and Fred Smith about Georgia’s primary on June 9. We’ll talk about the record number of LGBTQ candidates, endorsements and the importance of getting out the vote. We’ll also answer your questions.

Can’t make the event on Friday? Register and we’ll share a recording of the conversation that you can replay later.
