Welcome Thank you for joining us for the 2022 HRC Austin Dinner.

We have waited two long years and couldn’t be happier to be here, in person, with all of you. If our time away from one another taught us anything, it’s the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. Tonight is an evening to celebrate our accomplishments and support our work to ensure that all are equal under federal law. Our tireless efforts have brought the Equality Act the closest it’s ever been to reality. So much is riding on the actions we take after we leave this ballroom tonight. As we look ahead, let’s also reflect on where we have been.

When COVID changed the world, we were preparing and organizing for the most consequential presidential election of our lifetime. So much of our movement depended on in person interactions to change hearts and minds. When that was no longer a viable or safe option, we went digital with our organizing. Unsure of this familiar yet new digital advocacy, we knew the lives of so many depended on us to get it right, and we did - because of you. With your help elected the most pro-Equality ticket in history to the White House, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Unfortunately, as we are so frequently reminded, those who wish to do our community harm will continue to do so no matter who is in office. Over the past two years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the country. We saw over 300 bills directed to hurt our community last session just in Texas alone. Even in 2022, 29 states still do not have nondiscriminatory policies in place to protect our community within the health, employment, and housing sectors. Hate crimes and murders against our transgender community, and specifically trans women of color are exponentially higher today than at any other point in our history.

We must fight back to send a message that hateful measures taken against our community will not stand. An injustice against one of us is an injustice against all of us. We cannot be distracted as we approach the midterm election. The time to act is now. And this is why we are here tonight: to take action.

This evening you will hear from movement makers that reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ+ movement for Equality. We hope you listen carefully to their stories and use their message to energize and engage. There has never been a more important moment in history for us to work harder than ever before.

Thank you for joining us for this evening of action. Together we will push Equality Forward.

Your Co-Chairs: Sam Slate, Christina Hernandez, and Nico Ramsey

SPECIAL PERFORMER DANA GOLDBERG

As seen on TBS, ABC, LOGO, and Last Comic Standing, veteran comedian Dana Goldberg is a force of nature on stage. With performances at the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, The Comedy Festival produced

by TBS and HBO, and the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland; her quick wit and playful stage presence have her earning loyal fans across the country and abroad.

A crowd favorite, Goldberg has become a triple threat combining her comedy, hosting, and live auction talents to become one of the most sought after entertainers on the circuit. Voted one of the “Top Five Funniest Lesbians In America,” Curve magazine raves, “Goldberg is one of the brightest lights in a stellar comedy landscape.” Advocate.com named Goldberg one of the top three LGBT comedians in the nation.

In addition to headlining clubs, theaters and festivals around the country, Goldberg has performed at and emceed dozens of high profile events and has shared the national stage with luminaries such as President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Meryl Streep, Katy Perry, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lopez, Carol Burnett, Sir Elton John, Mariah Carey, Shonda Rhimes, and many more.

Combining her gift of humor with humanitarian efforts, Goldberg has raised over 20 million dollars for non-profits around the country in the fight for marriage equality, LGBT rights, women’s health, and HIV and AIDS education and prevention.

As the youngest child in a single parent household run by a Jewish mother in which two of three kids are gay, Goldberg helps keep most of the comedy venues and half of the psychotherapists in the country in business.

Along life’s journey, let’s travel together.

Special Performance THELMA HOUSTON Grammy winning Motown Legend A Mississippi native, Houston started out in the 60s performing gospel music with the Art Reynolds Singers. She signed to Capitol Records (home of the Beatles, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson) in 1967, and had her first hit song with “Baby Mine.” Offered a solo recording contract, Houston released her first album, Sunshower, on ABC Dunhill in 1969, which was written and produced by the legendary Jimmy Webb.

After this critically acclaimed debut, Houston signed with Motown Records. At Motown, Houston claimed the top of the pop, R&B, and dance charts with her high-powered rendition of “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” That Gold Record classic gave Houston the distinction of being the first solo female artist at Motown to win the GRAMMY Award for “Best R&B Female Vocal Performance.”

In early 2020, Houston collaborated with Morrissey on “Bobby, Don’t You Think They Know.” Also released in 2020 was the dance single “Turn Your World Around” (Radikal Records) with Bimbo Jones. The song rose on the Billboard Dance Charts to #7. The summer of 2020 found Houston teaming up once again with Jimmy Webb for the song called “Someone is Standing Outside.” With appearances from Tokyo to Las Vegas to London and beyond, Houston continues to bring audiences to their feet each year with national and international performances.

Houston is known as a humanitarian for her charitable causes and her tireless efforts in the battle against AIDS. In 2003, the City of West Hollywood proclaimed January 29 as “Thelma Houston Day.” She has donated her talents to numerous charities, including Divine Design for Project Angel Food, AIDS Project Los Angeles, and the Minority AIDS Project, to which she donated her $20,000 winnings from the TV NBC show Hit Me Baby, One More Time. She is also very active in the Beverly Hills / Hollywood branch of the NAACP and is a longtime supporter of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

“We have been fortunate to benefit from Thelma’s support for many years and are truly grateful,” said Richard Ayoub, Executive Director, Project Angel Food. “It’s a testament to her artistry and ingenuity that she would create a way to bring us closer together during these troubled times and give.”

Ms. Houston recently brought the house down on “Motown 60: A Grammy Celebration” shown on CBS TV and on “DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic.” On BET.

PROUDLY SUPPORTS THE HRC

VISIBILITY AWARD EMILY RIOS Emily Rios most recently starred in the FX drama series Snowfall, from executive producers John Singleton, Eric Amadio, Thomas Schlamme and Dave Andron. The project is a 1980s-set drama chronicling the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles and Rios stars as ‘Lucia Villanueva,’ the self-possessed daughter of a Mexican crime family.

In film, Rios can be seen in the key role of ‘Victoria’ in Barry Jenkins’ award winning feature film, If Beale Street Could Talk. The Annapurna Pictures and Plan B produced drama is based on James Baldwin’s novel and Emily stars opposite an impressive cast that includes Kiki Layne, Dave Franco, Ed Skrein, Pedro Pascal and Regina King.

Emily starred with Diane Kruger and Demian Bichir in the FX Network crime thriller, The Bridge. For her portrayal as investigative reporter ‘Adriana Mendez,’ the Imagen Awards honored Emily with a 2014 Best Supporting Actress nomination. She also received the 2014 National Hispanic Media Coalition Impact Award (Outstanding Performance in a Television Series) and the 2014 NHFA Horizon Award.

Emily recurred on the El Rey series From Dusk Till Dawn from executive producer Robert Rodriguez, playing the role of ‘Ximena,’ the no-nonsense lieutenant of ‘Lord Venganza.’ Other television credits include recurring on the HBO drama True Detective, and guest starring on the ABC series Scandal and CBS’ Criminal Minds.

Rios made her impressive acting debut as the lead in the critically acclaimed film Quinceañera, which went on to win the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Emily’s performance earned her best actress nominations for both the Alma and Imagen Awards. Since then, she has gone on to build a resume comprised of numerous critically acclaimed productions and memorable characters, culminating in the recognition and induction by the Hollywood Reporter into their ‘Young Hispanic Hollywood Class of 2013.’

Emily is perhaps best known for her portrayal of ‘Andrea Cantillo,’ on AMC’s much celebrated series, Breaking Bad. Her character’s relationship with ‘Jesse’ (played by Aaron Paul) developed over three seasons, climaxing in her tragic and pivotal death during the show’s final season.

Other notable television credits include playing Benjamin Bratt’s daughter on ABC’s Private Practice, starring opposite Ray Romano on the TNT series, Men of a Certain Age, and recurring on NBC’s Friday Night Lights. Rios has also guest starred on shows such as House, The Closer, Grimm and ER. Emily starred in the independent feature film Paint It Black, directed by Amber Tamblyn. Her feature film credits include starring opposite Helen Mirren in the Taylor Hackford directed film, Love Ranch, as well as The Winning Season with Emma Roberts and Sam Rockwell. Additionally, Emily starred in Pete Smalls is Dead with Tim Roth, and Steve Buscemi, and Vicious Circle which won the Best Picture Award at the 2008 New York International Latino Film Festival, as well as Down For Life, a film based on a New York Times article portraying a day in the life of a 15-year-old Latina gang leader.

EQUALITY AWARD JESSE JAMES KEITEL Jesse James Keitel is quickly emerging as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors. Keitel can currently be seen portraying fan-favorite ‘Jerrie Kennedy’ in David E. Kelley’s hit ABC’s series “Big Sky.” Keitel has returned for season 2, capturing viewers as the series follows an evil sex trafficking ring in Montana. Keitel was recently a part of DISNEY+ First Ever Pride Celebration Special and will next be seen starring in the highly anticipated Peacock reboot of “QUEER AS FOLK” releasing Summer 2022.

Keitel’s casting as one of the leads is truly groundbreaking, as she made history as ABC’s first openly transgender series regular on Primetime Television. Keitel has been an advocate in moving the needle for the LGBTQ+ community’s timely representation in Hollywood.

Keitel is an actor, writer, and artist known for her work on Alex Strangelove (2018), Younger (2018), and the Student Academy Award winning film Miller & Son (2019).

Originally from eastern Long Island, NY, Jesse attended Pace University in New York City where they received a BFA in Acting. Jesse is also a drag artist under the pseudonym Peroxide of the Haus of Femanon, making all her own costumes and doing her own makeup.

TRANSGENDER

INCLUSION IN THE WORKPLACE

OF THOSE RATED ON HRC FOUNDATION’S 2021 CEI…

99%

of CEI-rated employers explicitly include gender identity as a part of their non-discrimination policy.

49% of CEI-rated employers

allow employees the option to selfidentify as LGBTQ+ in anonymous employee engagement surveys or as part of data collection on confidential employee forms or in the HRIS system.

94 % 600+

OF FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES

have non-discrimination protections that include gender identity,

UP FROM 3% IN 2002.

major employers have adopted workplace gender transition guidelines.

Over its 19-year history, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index has been the driving force for the adoption of equitable workplace policies, practices and benefits for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people in the United States and beyond. Participating companies know that building an LGBTQ+-inclusive workplace is not just the right thing to do, it is also the best business decision and allows companies to attract, retain and engage top talent. Their commitment to building inclusion has only strengthened over the past year, with a record-breaking number of corporations achieving top marks.

91%

of all CEI-rated businesses offer transgenderinclusive health insurance coverage, up from 0 in 2002 and 22 times as many businesses as 12 years ago.

87%

of all CEI-rated businesses offer transgender-inclusive health insurance coverage while also eliminating blanket exclusions for medically necessary care in all other employer-sponsored plans.

We must do the work.

Real progress on diversity and inclusion doesn't happen without real work.

Our determination to drive sustainable change, grounds us in the ways we can make the systemic shifts necessary to create a more inclusive industry for all.

Microsoft continues to be a proud sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign.

WHAT WE DO The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer equality. Since 1980, we have been fighting for a better future for LGBTQ+ Americans. We are now working tirelessly to pass the Equality Act, which will soon head to the U.S. Senate for consideration, fight back against a multitude of anti-LGBTQ+ legis-lation in states nationwide and ensure everyone in our community is treated with dignity and respect. While our opponents are emboldened and on the attack, the Human Rights Campaign and our grass-roots army of more than 3.2 million members and supporters are energetically defending the rights we’ve gained and ramping up our fight for full equality across the board.

ANTI-EQUALITY LEADERS AND LEGISLATION

The alarming spate of anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced across the country in 2020 has continued to surge in 2021. These include bills that would prohibit transgender youth from receiving genderaffirming care and bills that would prohibit transgender youth from participating in sports. This wave of anti-transgender legislation harkens back to the surge of anti-transgender bathroom bills that hit state legislatures in 2016, including North Carolina’s HB2. We remain committed to aggressively fighting these threats to equality by those who seek to undermine our rights. HRC will do whatever it takes to protect the rights and fundamental equality of every LGBTQ+ person in this country.

BUILDING AND DEMONSTRATING POLITICAL POWER

HRC’s decades-long work to build political power has uniquely positioned us to reach LGBTQ+ and ally voters who prioritize equality on the ballot, also known as Equality Voters. HRC has identified 57 million Equality Voters nationwide who, if they turn out to vote, will support pro-equality candidates. HRC’s early and sustained year-round engagement in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin bolstered historic turnout in 2018 and 2020 producing pro-equality outcomes at every level of government. In 2019, HRC’s mobilization of Equality Voters in Virginia, where lawmakers had repeatedly blocked proequality bills over many years, produced groundbreaking progress for LGBTQ+ Americans in the South. These victories led to the Virginia Values Act becoming law, making Virginia the first state in the South to advance statewide nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people.

ADVANCING EQUALITY IN OUR DAILY LIVES

The HRC Foundation improves the lives LGBTQ+ people by building understanding and shaping the public debate of LGBTQ+ people and the challenges they face through innovative research and public education campaigns. We also change the policies and practices in the institutions that shape our everyday lives (hospitals, schools, workplaces, and more) and empower strategic partners, community advocates, and allies through convenings and capacity-building.

Guided by these theories of change and seeking to prioritize work impacting those who are multiply marginalized, we have 11 cuttingedge programs advancing equality in the U.S. and beyond.

All Children - All Families is the only national program

dedicated to LGBTQ+ inclusion in child welfare (foster care and adoption agencies) that provides resource development, technical assistance and training.

Public Education & Research produces written resources and conducts original quantitative and qualitative research exploring the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people.

Global Partnerships provides capacity-building and leadership development opportunities to LGBTQ+ advocates from around the world to strengthen movements and advance global LGBTQ+ equality.

HBCU Program is the only national project that partners with Historically Black Colleges and Universities on establishing an LGBTQ+-inclusive campus climate.

Health & Aging provides resources and training to help thousands of healthcare facilities adopt inclusive policies and practices to better serve LGBTQ+ patients and employees.

HIV & Health Equity develops public education and capacitybuilding programs to address the disproportionate impact of HIV on Black and Latinx communities.

Religion & Faith provides faith leaders with opportunities

and tools to stand up for equality even as opponents attempt to weaponize faith against LGBTQ+ people.

Transgender Justice Initiative leads economic empowerment programs, capacity-building initiatives, community engagement efforts, and public safety education campaigns that combat the discrimination faced by transgender people.

Welcoming Schools is the only bias-based bullying prevention program in the nation to provide LGBTQ+-specific training and resources with an intersectional lens, developed for use in elementary schools.

Workplace Equality advances equality for LGBTQ+ workers through the adoption and implementation of inclusive policies, practices, and benefits in the U.S. and beyond.

Youth Well-Being provides professional development to over 5,000 youth-serving professionals annually, through the annual Time to THRIVE conference, webinars, participation at major national convenings, and by amplifying the stories of HRC Youth Ambassadors. The program also convenes HRC’s Parents for Transgender Equality Council.

How our all-access network works: Our HealthSmart PPO Plus network is one of the largest private PPOs in the country, with over 1.2 million access points.

If you use a provider that’s not already in our network, Sana will work with the provider to join our network or work out a payment agreement. Either way, there’s no extra cost or restrictions on using your provider.

Sana provides in-network access to all hospitals.

We don’t pre-negotiate rates with a narrow group of in-network hospitals. We allow you to choose your hospital and then work behind the scenes on your behalf to negotiate a fair payment for your treatment. This gives you the best of both worlds — more choice and lower costs.

Empowering all of Slalom's diverse employees to celebrate their authenticity every day.

“When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.”
