Speaker Bio
Sarah McBride is the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign and the author of “Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality.”
In 2012 McBride made national headlines when she came out as transgender while serving as student body president at American University. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, McBride serves on the board of directors of Equality Delaware and helped lead the successful effort to add gender identity and expression to her state’s nondiscrimination laws. In 2008 she worked for Governor Jack Markell (D-DE) and in 2010 for former attorney general Beau Biden (D-DE). Prior to coming to H.R.C., she worked at the Center for American Progress and interned at the White House, the first out trans woman to do so.
McBride became the first openly transgender person to address a major party political convention when she spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
