“COVID-19 keeps us from meeting in person, but we have a tremendous amount of work to do to change the direction of our country by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” said Stephen Gaskill, president of the Florida LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus. “Our virtual conference features party leaders, issue experts, and campaign strategists who will inspire us, teach us, and guide us in our mission to defeat Donald Trump.”

The full program is still being finalized and more info will be released shortly. In addition to Mayor Buttigieg’s keynote, the conference will feature a session on voter protection efforts in Florida as a counter to Republican efforts to suppress the vote. Also on the agenda is a panel discussion on the intersection of issues facing the LGBTQ community and communities of color in the 2021 legislative session. This panel will be moderated by Senator-elect Shevrin Jones, featuring Representative-elect Michele Rayner, as well as Lake Worth City Commissioner Omari Hardy and Angie Nixon, presumptive state representatives who defeated anti-LGBTQ incumbents in their primaries.

It’s In Your Hands will be available online on several sites, with lgbtqdems.org, the Caucus’ webpage, as the main site. There is no registration fee for the conference, but participants are encouraged to register.

The conference is hosted by the Caucus’ Broward chapter, the Dolphin Democrats. It will be broadcast from the studios of Hotspots Media Group, the Caucus’ media partner.
