Welcome Welcome to the 2022 HRC St. Louis Dinner!

Our community has not gathered for an HRC Dinner for three years. So much has changed in that time – both in the world, and in each of our lives. We have enjoyed proud celebrations, and we have endured profound losses. But we are here, and we are here together, and we are more committed than ever to the work ahead. So while we have the instinct to say to you, “Welcome Back”, we instead say tonight, “Welcome Forward”.

As we grapple with legislative attacks against our community, particularly those against our Trans and BIPOC siblings and youth, and the overturn of Roe v. Wade, our work to elect pro-equality and pro-choice candidates in the midterm elections truly takes on a life and death urgency. And HRC will continue to push The Equality Act, which has been passed in the House of Representatives but stalled in the Senate. This essential piece of legislation would establish explicit, permanent protections against discrimination based on an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity in matters of employment, housing, access to public places, federal funding, credit, education, and jury service.

Additionally, it would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in federal funding and access to public places. Polling before and after the introduction of The Equality Act shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans support federal non-discrimination protections. The time to pass The Equality Act is NOW. The theme of our event tonight is “Join Us” – which you already did. So now that you’re here, it’s time to Join In. Follow us on social media, volunteer with us at an upcoming pride, help us phone and text-bank for pro-equality candidates including Cori Bush and Trudy Busch Valentine, lend your talents to one of our committees, make a donation tonight, or increase your existing giving level. Of course, feel free to select more than one of the above! There are many ways for you to be part of our work, and we welcome you with open arms. Volunteer information is placed at each of your tables.

We are so grateful to be together, in person, with this inspiring community for an evening of celebration and determination. Tonight, we gather with family, friends, colleagues, community partners, elected officials, and activists who are with us in the fight for equality, equity, and liberation for the LBGTQ+ community. This event would not be possible without all of our guests, corporate partners, silent auction donors, table captains, and of course, the dedicated work of our HRC volunteers and staff partners. As we often say, we are HRC. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. We need all of you now, more than ever, so please join us in moving our country forward and helping everyone see that people from St. Louis truly embody our local HRC theme of Show The Love.

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.

Robin S PERFORMER In a career spanning over 30 years, Robin S has accomplished what most musicians only dream of - consistent touring and chart-topping hits. AND NOW, a spectacular resurgence thanks the release of Beyonce’s newest single “Break My Soul” which samples her iconic 90’s anthem “Show Me Love”. Her career shows no signs of slowing down.

Robin S. is touring across North America and Europe this summer in support of her current single, “I Believe” which is #1 on the European Dance Charts. A new album is also in the works with a slated 2023 release date.

A house diva whose productions use live instrumentation just as much as electronics, Robin S. debuted on the scene with the Top Ten hit “Show Me Love.” The Queens, New York native was signed by Big Beat Records in 1993, and debuted with the hot single, which climbed the charts during 1994, and spurred her first album, also titled Show Me Love. After working on her songwriting for several years, she began recruiting producers such as Eric “E-Smoove” Miller and Todd Terry to work on her second album. Released in 1997 on Atlantic, “From Now On” reflected broader interests for Robin S., encompassing gospel and ballads in addition to hi-NRG dance floor material.

Recently the center of an international media storm following the release of Beyonce’s newest single “Break My Soul” which samples her iconic 90’s anthem “Show Me Love”. The wave of influence has greatly impacted the house music veteran in terms of licensing, special projects, and collaboration requests Red Bull recently licensed the smash hit “Show Me Love” for their Dance Your Style Competitions around the world, and recent collaborations include DJ Icon and Carl Cox; a few of the largest names in electronic music.

“It’s always been important to me to create music that inspires people. Good music should be both timeless and constantly evolving. Beyonce inspires me with her artistry, and I am thrilled that she felt moved by my music, I’m so proud of her and honored to have influenced her message.” – Robin S. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: Remixed “Show Me Love” track by Stonebridge was re-released in ‘93 and peaked at No. 1 on Hot Dance Music / Club Play, No. 1 Hot Dance Singles Sales, No. 7 on Hot R&B / Hip-Hop Singles and Tracks and No. 5 on Billboard Hot 100.

This success earned her a spot on the ‘94 “American Music Awards” as a performer.

“Luv 4 Luv” saw similar success and was at the top spot on the US dance chart.

“What I Do Best” peaked at 21 in the Netherlands, was a Top 40 hit in Belgium and a Top 50 hit in the UK. “It Must Be Love” had two weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart and was No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2016 she collaborated with DJ Escape on “Shout It Loud” and hit No. 1 on the US dance chart.

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.

Celebrating Pride+Joy every day

We stand with the Human Rights Campaign in our commitment to respect, equality & inclusion for all.

These values continue to guide us in everything we do—now more than ever as Platinum National Partners.

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.
