Navigating the Stop W.O.K.E. and Don't Say Gay Acts

Hinshaw is pleased to bring together Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean J. Trantalis, Senior Political Director Joe Saunders of Equality Florida, Public Policy Director Mike Ziri of Equality Illinois, and Hinshaw Attorneys Andrew Gordon and Laura Knittle for an important discussion on the Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees ("Stop W.O.K.E.") and Parental Rights in Education ("Don't Say Gay") legislation that went into effect this year in Florida. 

This program will:

• Provide a summary of the laws;
• Explore the implications on educators, employers, and Florida communities as a whole; and
• Outline the steps that are being taken by various stakeholders to address the impact.

This hybrid event allows you to participate in one of three ways:

1. Join Mayor Dean Trantalis, Joe Saunders, and Andrew Gordon in Fort Lauderdale at The Main Las Olas;
2. Watch a simulcast in our Chicago office; or
