Equality Florida Suncoast Celebration

Please join us at the 2022 Equality Florida Suncoast Celebration, where we'll

commemorate our 25 years in the fight for equality! We hope to see you at this

year's event to learn about the progress we've made in Florida and what's ahead

on the journey to full LGBTQ equality. 

This year's Celebration will feature heavy

hors d'oeuvres, open bars, a silent and live auction, an inspiring message from

Equality Florida's Executive Director Nadine Smith, and live entertainment by

Jami Gee and her band. Also during the evening, we'll recognize local individuals

who have made outstanding contributions to LGBTQ equality.

Celebrating a Leader in Advancing LGTBQ Equality

2022 Voice for Equality Award Honoree

Zander Moricz is the youngest public plaintiff in

the "Don't Say LGBTQ" lawsuit against the state

of Florida, as well as the founder and executive

director of the Social Equitu and Education

Initiative. Since 2019, Zander has grown the SEE

Initiative into a movement of over 1,000 Floridian

organizers, leading the state's student response

to hateful legislation. With a current focus on the

"Don't Say LGBTQ" law, Zander has given analyses

on CNN and MSNBC as well as testimony to the

Florida Senate. As the president of the Board at

Florida Model United Nations, Florida's largest

independent Model UN program, Zander created an aid fund that established

dozens of MUN programs in Title I schools and provides them with coaching,

curriculum, and financial support. He is also the Central-Eastern director of

communications for Diversify Our Narrative, a national organization with more

than 6,000 organizers.

Equality Florida is grateful for the commitment Zander has shown to

LGBTQ students in Florida and is proud to recognize him with this honor!
