As part of Boston Pride’s activities during Pride Week, Boston Pride annually holds a political forum focused on human rights and education of the LGBTQ community. This year, the forum will focus on advocacy and activism within the LGBTQ community in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. The theme of this year’s Boston Pride Parade and Festival is “Stronger Together,” which was nominated and selected by the community in Boston. Boston Pride is partnering with the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate for the event, which will be held at the Institute.
Panelists will include current and former elected officials as well as long-time LGBT activists to discuss the meaning of “stronger together” in terms of advocacy and activism within the community and strategies for moving the community forward. The event will be moderated by Alison King of NECN and NBC Boston.
