Join PFLAG Phoenix for our first-ever Advocacy Night, an evening dedicated to education, civic engagement, and community action.

This special event will bring together local elected officials, LGBTQIA+ community organizations, Arizona State University student organizations, and community members for an open conversation about the issues impacting LGBTQIA+ people in Arizona.

Whether you're new to advocacy or already actively engaged, Advocacy Night will provide practical tools and meaningful opportunities to make your voice heard.

The evening will include:

??? Panel Discussion with Local Elected Officials
Hear directly from elected leaders about current legislation, community priorities, and their vision for supporting LGBTQIA+ Arizonans.

? Community Q&A
Bring your questions and engage in respectful dialogue with local officials.

?? Advocacy Training
Learn practical strategies for communicating effectively with legislators, sharing your personal story, and advocating for policies that support equality and inclusion.

?? Community Networking & Resource Fair
Meet local LGBTQIA+ organizations, advocacy groups, and community partners working to create positive change throughout Arizona.

Whether you're LGBTQIA+, a parent, family member, ally, student, educator, or simply someone who believes in equality and inclusion, we invite you to join us for this important evening of learning, connection, and action.

Together, we can strengthen our community and empower one another to advocate for a more inclusive Arizona.

Admission is free and all are welcome.

If you are a community organization that would like to join us with a table at this event, please reach out to Stephanie Bucklin, Secretary of PFLAG Phoenix at pflag.phoenix.arizona@gmail.com
