WELCOME TO THE 2023 HRC G W E L C O M E! We are beyond excited to have you join us for the 21st annual Greater New York Human Rights Campaign Celebration held, once again, at the ever supportive Marriott Marquis!

Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, friend or family member we are glad “Without Exception” to have you here…

What an exciting nine months it has been since we last met! The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) appointed a new president – Kelley Robinson – and we are thrilled to have her here to speak to us tonight. Kelley is truly dynamic and is passionate about HRC. We cannot wait to hear about her vision for the future of our organization and our fight for true equality. In addition, probably the single most important event for the LGBTQ+ community happened in December when President Biden signed into law the “Respect for Marriage Act”. This codified the Supreme Court ruling from June 2015. This occasion was historic and HRC was instrumental with getting this done - and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

While we have much to celebrate, we still have a lot to do. Last year, we witnessed the Supreme Court’s reversal of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision from 50 years ago! We also continue to see heightened attacks on our transgender community from politicians in the form of legislation, and via random acts of criminality.

Additionally, Congress has yet to pass the “Equality Act.” This is a landmark piece of legislation that would expand federal civil rights laws to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination in employment, housing, credit, jury service, and federally funded programs such as those for health and education, as well as public places and spaces.

Regarding the midterms, we kept the Senate and very narrowly lost the House! As we begin to prepare for the 2024 elections, it is the responsibility of everyone in this room to ensure that we do everything we can to protect our pro-Equality majority. Examples of what you can do include supporting HRC through volunteering your valuable time and/or a cash donation of whatever you are able. Please also be sure to vote for candidates who will advocate for us and, most importantly, VOTE! We cannot, and will not, allow the antiEquality agenda to gain control and further diminish the rights of our LGBTQ+ community.

As the country’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve LGBTQ+ equality, HRC remains at the forefront of the fight for LGBTQ+ equality. HRC’s colleagues, members, supporters and corporate sponsors are all on the frontline in the effort to secure full equality.

We are humbled and honored to have you join us this evening, whether you are an HRC member, part of our Federal Club or Federal Club Council (Major Donors), a Corporate Sponsor, Silent Auction Donor or a guest. We thank you for being here!

GREATER NEW YORK DINNER! This evening could not have been possible without the help of so many people: Thank you to our incredible Greater New York Dinner Committee, for all of their time and energy in making this phenomenal evening possible, and for their tireless efforts supporting the mission of HRC. Thank you also to the leadership of the Greater New York Steering Committee, Board of Governors and Board of Directors, all of whom work diligently year-round to help bring the vision of full and complete equality to the local region and throughout our HRC communities nationwide.

We would also like to thank all of the corporate, individual and organizational donors who give so generously to make this evening a reality – we owe you tremendous gratitude for your continued financial support of this program and our work.

Of course, to all of the night’s award recipients, thank you for using your talent and visibility to passionately advocate for the rights of our community; you have truly changed hearts and minds on a global scale.

Finally, and most importantly, we would like to thank each and every one of you: members of the community, allies and supporters of LGBTQ+ equality worldwide. Your support, passion and commitment of the work of HRC and everything this organization stands for is both humbling and inspiring. Should you be interested in engaging further with HRC, please visit our local website: hrcgreaterny.org.

In solidarity, Danielle, Michael and Vik HRC GNY Dinner Tri-Chairs

Ariana Debose VISIBILITY AWARD HONOREE Ariana DeBose is an award winning actress known for her varying roles onstage and in film and television. DeBose is best known for her groundbreaking performance in Steven Spielberg’s reimagining of WEST SIDE STORY, for which she received an Academy Award in addition to BAFTA, Critics Choice and SAG Awards for her star turning role as Anita. Her performance has received universal critical acclaim, with Variety calling her a “radiant force of nature” and Forbes writing “Ariana DeBose shines in an absolutely star-making performance.” In winning her Oscar, she became the first openly queer Afro Latina to win an Academy Award.

DeBose will next star in Sony Pictures’ KRAVEN THE HUNTER, Disney’s animated feature WISH, and Matthew Vaughn’s action film ARGYLLE for Apple. She will also star in Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s space thriller I.S.S. and executive produce and star in the feature film TWO AND ONLY for Sony’s Screen Gems. She most recently wrapped production on Blumhouse’s HOUSE OF SPOILS for Amazon Studios.

Earlier this year, DeBose hosted the 75 Annual Tony Awards and made her SNL guest host debut to rave reviews. Last year, she had a breakout role in “Schmigadoon!,” the Lorne Michaels’ executive produced Apple TV+ musical comedy series, for which she will also return for its second season. She also received critical acclaim for her performance in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix adaptation of the hit-Broadway musical THE PROM opposite Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington and James Corden.

Onstage, DeBose is perhaps best known for her role as “Disco Donna” in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, which earned her a 2018 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. For the same role, she was nominated for a Drama League Award for “Distinguished Performance” and won a Chita Rivera Award for “Outstanding Female Dancer in a Broadway Show.

In 2015, DeBose appeared alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda in the groundbreaking, Tony-winning musical Hamilton as a member of the original cast in both the Broadway and off-Broadway productions, as well as the Emmy Award winning film version that was later released on Disney+. After her departure from Hamilton in 2016, DeBose completed a run as Jane in the original Broadway cast of A Bronx Tale.

Her additional theater credits include: Leading Player in the Tony Award-winning revival of Pippin, Mary Wilson of the Supremes in Motown The Musical, Nautica in Andy Blankenbuehler’s Bring It On: The Musical and ensemble in Stephen Sondheim’s Company. Other credits include: The Breaks (VH1), Blue Bloods (CBS), OLTL’s Star Crossed Lovers Series and Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance (FOX), where she was a top-20 finalist.

DeBose currently sits on the International Board of Covenant House advocating for homeless youth, many of whom identify as LGBTQ. She is also a board member of A is For, a reproductive rights organization started by Martha Plimpton that works to ensure that all women have access to reproductive and abortion care free of stigma.

DeBose resides in New York.

Kehinde Wiley NATIONAL EQUALITY AWARD

Kehinde Wiley (b. 1977, Los Angeles) is a world-renowned visual artist, best known for his vibrant portrayals of contemporary African-American and African-Diasporic individuals that subvert the hierarchies and conventions of European and American portraiture. Working in the mediums of painting, sculpture, and video, Wiley’s portraits challenge and reorient art-historical narratives, awakening complex sociopolitical issues that many would prefer remain muted.

In 2018 Wiley became the first African-American artist to paint an official U.S. Presidential portrait for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. F ormer U.S. President Barack Obama selected Wiley for this honor. Wiley is the recipient of the U.S. Department of State’s Medal of Arts, Harvard University’s W.E.B. Du Bois Medal, and France’s distinction of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters. He holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, an MFA from Yale University, and honorary doctorates from the Rhode Island School of Design and the San Francisco Art Institute. Wiley has held solo exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally, and his works are included in the permanent collections of over 60 public institutions around the world including the Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Walker Art Center.

He is the Founder and President of the Black Rock Global Arts Foundation which seeks to develop initiatives to connect artists and creative thinkers worldwide with opportunities to collaborate, create, and live in locations of cultural significance on the African continent and across the African diaspora. In 2019, Wiley founded Black Rock Senegal, a multidisciplinary artist-in-residence program that invites artists from around the world to Dakar, Senegal. Since its opening, the program has hosted over 50 international artists across a multitude of disciplines including painting, photography, film, mixed media, textile, sculpture, writing and performance. This year, Wiley looks forward to the opening of a new artist residency space in Calabar, Nigeria.

Along life’s journey let’s travel together.

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.
