Vision Awards

October 14th, 2020 | Streaming live at 7 PM EDT

Marking Stonewall Community Foundation’s 30th anniversary, the 2020 Vision Awards is a re-imagined virtual experience celebrating some of the LGBTQ community’s boldest visionaries. Breaking the mold in its diversity, spontaneity, and sincerity, the Vision Awards broadcast will bring together powerful LGBTQ and ally voices from around the country - and globe - to center and celebrate our mission of moving our people closer to liberation.

This year’s honorees include author, educator, and feminist icon, Roxane Gay; legendary trans performer, Sandra Caldwell; and the bold and brilliant minds behind this summer’s historic Brooklyn Liberation March.
