This year’s breakfast will also include a legislative panel with Arizona lawmakers Sara Liguori, Flavio Bravo, and Lorena Austin, who will share insights on the session ahead and the issues most impacting LGBTQ+ Arizonans. You’ll hear what’s coming, why it matters, and how you can take action to help advance equality across our state.
