Via continued aggressive advocating by the LGBTQ+ community and advocates of equal rights, LGBTQ+ social movements have gained momentum with each passing decade. From the watershed movement of the Stonewall Riots, credited as creating visibility for the LGBTQ+ community, to the fight for marriage equality, LGBTQ+ social movements are at the forefront of civil rights discussions within the United States. This session will provide historical context of LGBTQ+ social movements in the United States.

About Diversity Reboot Summit
Pride is a time for celebration, but in the face of unprecedented anti-LGBTQIA+ bills, it’s also a time to build resilience for the future and reflect on decades of advocacy. We gather together to help overcome the systemic inequality that has impacted and still impacts the LGBTQIA+ community — and not just in the world, but also in the workplace.
Our Pride summit, one of our biggest events of the year, will bring together individuals, leaders, and organizations to discuss concrete actions they are taking to increase representation in various industries, showcase members of our community who are making an impact, and highlight those companies actively hiring and investing in LGBTQIA+ talent.
The summit will conclude an LGBTQIA+ virtual job fair featuring companies who keep their Pride flags flying all year long, not just in the month of June.
Past Pride speakers have included Indeed’s LaFawn Davis, actress & entrepreneur Angelica Ross, Rep. Mark Takano, filmmaker Dan O’Neill, GLITS founder Ceyenne Doroshow, founder Andrea Barrica, National Black Justice Coalition Executive Director David J. Johns, activist & business leader Henry R. Muñoz III, and many more.
