Advancing Inclusive LGBTQI+ Citizenship Globally

Wed. March 22nd, 2023
Washington, DC

A central theme of the Summit for Democracy is that inclusive democracies—ones that respect the human rights of all marginalized communities—deliver important dividends for their citizens. With anti-gender and anti-LGBTQI+ movements surging within broader anti-democratic currents around the world, how can the United States and other concerned actors push back against such movements and advance the goal of inclusive democracy globally?

Join Carnegie for this important conversation in advance of the Summit for Democracy featuring Jessica Stern, Victor Madrigal-Borloz, Mark Bromley, and Tamara Adrián in conversation with Dan Baer.
