Moderated by Robert Williams, SVCF Donor Engagement Associate and Pride Council representative and Michael Lopez, former SVCF Director of Corporate Responsibility and Pride Council co-chair, these four LGBTIQ advocates scrutinize the existing challenges of this community that have been magnified by COVID-19. OutRight works at the regional and international levels to research, document, defend and advance the rights of LGBTIQ people.
