State of the Movement Plenary
The Annual State of the Movement Address
Task Force executive director, Kierra Johnson, and deputy executive
director, Mayra Hidalgo Salazar, will host the annual State of the
Movement Plenary, emceed by Sandra Valls. After nearly two years of life
during a global pandemic and a year into the current administration, we
have a lot to reflect on. In 2021, there were a record number of murders
of trans people in the United States and around the world, as well as
Johnson attacks against trans people in state legislatures across the country. We
witnessed an assault on the US Capitol and countless efforts to restrict
voting rights, abortion access, and the right to protest, while physical and
political violence intensified against people of color and immigrants. As
we gear up for the 2022 midterm elections, Task Force leaders will focus
on the opportunities ahead and lay out what at stake for our democracy.
From passing the Equality Act to rallying our people to Queer the Vote,
we guarantee you will feel inspired to create change! We’ll also present
