Russian LGBT Equality Issues: A Community Discussion Sponsored by Center Global

In recent weeks the Russian government has stepped up its anti-LGBT activities including enactment of legislation and new government policies. In response to growing interest from local community to conduct protests and boycotts of Russian products the Center Global program is sponsoring a public meeting on “Russian LGBT Equality Issues”. This event will outline the current situation in the country and explore various options for effective responses from our community. Guest resource experts will include: Larry Poltavtsev of Spectrum Human Rights, Innokenty Grekov, Human Rights First, Mark Bromley of Council for Global Equality and Matthew Schaaf of Freedom House. All are invited to attend. For those unable to attend in person the event will be available by conference call. There is no guarantee of audio quality.
