Spirit Of Justice Awardee Tony Hoang

GLAD Law will honor Equality California’s executive director Tony Hoang at their 26th Spirit of Justice Award event on November 6th in Boston, MA. Ricardo Martinez, GLAD Law’s Executive Director stated, “Local leaders like Tony Hoang power the LGBTQ+ movement—working on the ground to identify needs in their communities, marshalling the resources to meet them through innovative programs & policy & contributing to the playbook to expand protections & support for LGBTQ+ people around the country. As leader of the country’s largest LGBTQ+ statewide civil rights organization, Tony brings the strategic leadership needed to fight the relentless attacks on our community, especially transgender & nonbinary youth. In a period of increasing political opposition to LGBTQ+ equality, Equality California has steadfastly worked to safeguard important civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ Californians. Tony’s leadership to proactively secure fairness, safety & dignity for LGBTQ+ people shows us we can create opportunities to advance justice even in a hostile climate. We’re proud to honor him with this year’s Spirit of Justice Award.” Tony Hoang concluded, “It’s an honor to receive this recognition from GLAD Law, an organization that has spearheaded some of the boldest strategies & most significant advances in our movement to date, despite ever-present & powerful opposition. With our democracy under strain & hard-won rights increasingly under attack, LGBTQ+ advocates across the country must continue to safeguard the gains we’ve made, model ways to make progress, & speak directly to the majority of Americans who believe everyone deserves equal opportunity, without discrimination & who can help us expand protections for LGBTQ+ people regardless of the state where they live.”
