Drag for Democracy will be a celebration of people exemplifying the values and strength of our democracy through their work in advocacy and activism for LGBTQ+ people, rights, and equality.
LGBTQ+ advocates, and indeed people from all marginalized communities, have always been at the forefront of efforts to build power, create possibility, and expand our democracy to include all people. And with much fanfare, glitter, and glam, we will honor community members making democracy work as they build justice and equity in California.
The League of Women Voters of California and the League of Women Voters of San Francisco are thrilled to co-host this exciting event and we hope you will join us!
