DELICIOUSLY

DEFIANT

The fight for full LGBTQ equality is far from over. This year’s Chefs for Equality theme is “Deliciously Defiant” — a response to the alarming state of affairs under the Trump-Pence administration, which threatens freedom, especially that of LGBTQ people, women, people of color, immigrants and others daily. These challenges make the work of the HRC Foundation, the recipient of Chefs for Equality’s proceeds, more important than ever.

Our seventh annual event will be held at the Washington National Cathedral, which serves as a symbol of equality and justice in Washington, D.C., and for the nation; these same values have been the cornerstones of Chefs for Equality since its inception in 2008.
