I’m excited to be emceeing the Coalition Ending Gender-based Violence’s annual fundraising event Celebration of Change.

On April 29, 2021, we will gather to (virtually) spend time together, celebrate our community and a shared vision of a future without gender based violence.

The fun will start at 5:00 PM, when guests will enter a virtual reception and welcome orientation. We’ll engage in some facilitated social networking to meet friends and allies in the community. Then, at 6:00 PM, we’ll transition to the main program for a fabulous selection of performances from queer POC artists. We'll hear from leaders and allies of the Coalition and from the front lines working to end gender based violence in our region. Keynote speaker—Abigail Echo-Hawk of the Urban Indian Health Institute—is not to be missed!
