Our January Meeting
Election Impact: Protecting LGBTQ+ Civil Rights
January 28, 2025, 7 pm
This is a challenging time for LGBTQ+ people and their families. After a political campaign that often targeted trans kids, the results of last year's election mean that LGBTQ+ rights will be under attack in Washington. Thankfully, we live in a state with some of the strongest protections in the country. As we head into 2025, we will hear from Tom Temprano, external affairs managing director at Equality California, about what his leading LGBTQ+ rights organization is doing to ensure that California remains a safe haven and what we can do to protect and advance equal rights for our loved ones.
Speaker: As managing director for external affairs, Tom Temprano oversees Equality California's political affairs, strategic communications and media relations, state and federal legislative advocacy and impact litigation. Equity California is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of LGBTQ+ people in California. It is the largest statewide LGBTQ+ organization in the country.
Our January meeting will include the election of board officers for 2025. After the program, we will hold space for confidential sharing and support. We welcome you at our events with no judgment and lots of love.
Note, as a 501(c)(3) organization, PFLAG Oakland-East Bay does not endorse candidates or political campaigns.
Meetings are held from 7-9 PM in the Campbell Room at St. John's Presbyterian Church, 2727 College Avenue in Berkeley (look for the PFLAG banner). Masks are optional. We ask that you not attend if you are feeling unwell or if you've been in contact with anyone who is unwell. Between meetings, our board is still here to connect with you one-on-one.
