    Advocacy in Action: Empowering LGBTQ+ People with Disabilities with Nicole Adler
    Feb 26 2025

    Nicole Adler is a speaker, human rights advocate, and host. She is a two-time governor-appointed council member of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities and made history as the first Grand Marshal for San Francisco Pride with Down syndrome. Nicole Adler discusses building communities of support for LGBTQ+ people with down syndrome and other disabilities. LGBTQ+ people with disabilities is a segment of the population that needs more awareness and support at all levels – from our local communities and on state, national and global scales. She aims to amplify the authenticity and voices of LGBTQ people with disabilities and empower them to get involved in advocacy, be brave, share their story and to become the best version of themselves.
