Brandon Wolf, a nationally recognized advocate for gun safety and LGBTQ+ civil rights, will serve as the keynote speaker at Equality Virginia’s Commonwealth Dinner. The event, the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, takes place Saturday, Oct. 5, at Main Street Station.

The Commonwealth Dinner will feature two receptions, a live and silent auction, and a raffle, bringing together over 800 attendees, including community members, business leaders and elected officials. This year’s event commemorates the 10-year anniversary of marriage equality in Virginia and will support Equality Virginia’s ongoing efforts to advance LGBTQ+ rights in the state.

Sponsors include Altria, Amazon, Wells Fargo, Dominion Energy and others.

Wolf, the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, became an advocate following the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., where he lost two close friends. Since then, he has dedicated his work to honoring the victims’ legacies by pushing for social change and equality.

“Virginians deserve the freedom to live, love and be—fully, authentically, and un-apologetically,” Wolf said. “I am honored to join this community in celebrating Equality Virginia’s impact and standing together as we continue to fight for full equality for all Virginians.”
