​LGBTQ+ Power, Progress, and What's Next with HRC’s Kelley Robinson

​We are living through one of the most consequential moments in the history of LGBTQ+ rights.  Around the world, rollbacks to rights and protections are escalating and in the US, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and policy are flooding the political landscape.  Amid the chaos, the nation's largest LGBTQ+ rights group remains clear-sighted and focused on how to get it right—at the polls in November, and for generations to come.  Because this moment is bigger than a political cycle. It's about the 250 years of American history that has been shaped by LGBTQ+ people, and how we can shape a stronger, freer tomorrow for all of us.

​In this exclusive, moderated conversation, Kelley Robinson—the President of the Human Rights Campaign and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People—will speak candidly about the state of LGBTQ+ rights in a volatile political moment, how our community of doers can help to reclaim the narrative on equality and reimagine the playbook for advocacy, and why hope and joy are critical to the future of the movement.

​The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2026 Annual Meeting returns to New York City on September 22–23, 2026, bringing together leaders from business, government, and civil society to turn ideas into action through working sessions, private roundtables, and commitments that deliver real results.
