On June 28, 2023, the Atlantic Council hosted an #ACFrontPage conversation with United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power about the United States’ efforts to advance global LGBTQI+ human rights and USAID’s commitment to global inclusion.  

This fireside chat focused on the progress, opportunities, and challenges of the current moment for LGBTQI+ human rights, and the role U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance can play in supporting LGBTQI+ communities, followed by a brief Q&A.  

This special LGBTQI+ Pride Month edition of #ACFrontPage took place in person at the Atlantic Council Studios in Washington, DC, followed by a networking reception. The event was also live-streamed on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.
