Please join us on October 29, 2018 at 6:00pm for the closing keynote for LGBTQIA+ History Month 2018 with Amber Hikes, Executive Director for the Office of LGBT Affairs for the City of Philadelphia. Hikes joined the Office of LGBT Affairs in March 2017 and has set her sights on fighting and advocating for the most vulnerable populations within the LGBTQ community—specifically youth, transgender people, and people of color.

Hikes will be speaking with us about her activism in Equality PA, the Juvenile Justice Center, and her work in updating Philadelphia’s pride flag as well as sharing her personal experiences working with and advocating for people and communities.  

Hikes believes in employing an intersectional lens in all aspects of community work and leans daily on the words of sister Audre Lorde: “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle, because we do not live single-issue lives.”
