Live Conversation: How can we build solidarity with and community for LGBTQ+ families?

On June 16, 2025, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation held a live conversation on what it means to show up for and with one another in this moment of uncertainty and possibility. The discussion was hosted by Krista Scott, senior program officer in RWJF’s Healthy Children and Families portfolio.

She was joined by Finn Schubert of Transgender Strategy Center and Sade Dozan of Borealis Philanthropy. During the conversation, the panelists explored how solidarity and collective care built by LGBTQ+ families can be a model for ALL families and communities.
