The HRC Lecture Series
"Wednesdays We Gather"
presents our new Summer Lecture Series.
We’re creating a space for people to come together, learn, and better understand what’s happening in our government. Through conversations with experts, this lecture series is about making complex issues feel approachable. We want the community to feel informed, empowered, and ready to vote come this November!
TBA. (24 JUN, 29 JUL, 26 AUG)
In addition to educating the public about the issues that affect LGBTQ+ people and their families, HRC Austin works to engage LGBTQ+ people and allies in the fight for equality, raise money to fund HRC’s work, build strong relationships with local businesses and like-minded organizations, and turn out voters to elect pro-Equality candidates into office. Members of the HRC Austin Steering Committee serve as co-chairs of different program committees and bring their skills and talents to the work. Each program focuses on different aspects of HRC’s work in the community, such as fundraising, community engagement, expanding membership, volunteer recruitment, and political action.
Through these programs, volunteers can engage and develop their skills in relationship-building, public speaking, strategic planning, volunteer management, stewarding donors, lobbying, event-planning and social media communications. We accomplish our work plans by working closely with HRC staff partners, who provide volunteers with expertise, training, and leadership development.
Our #HRCATX community came together for an unforgettable evening of connection, purpose, and power.
Because of you — our volunteers, speakers, sponsors, and supporters — the HRC Austin Dinner was a tremendous success.
community = power.
We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you
