Today, it is with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of our friend and tireless partner in the fight for LGBTQ equality, Urvashi Vaid. Long before and long after her tenure on the board of the Gill Foundation, Urvashi was a mainstay in the movement, and today we send our hearts out to her wife, Kate Clinton, and their family. It’s impossible to overstate how essential Urvashi has been to LGBTQ progress in the United States. Urvashi’s work as an LGBTQ attorney spanned from an early stint as staff attorney at the ACLU’s National Prison Project, where she initiated the organization’s work on HIV/AIDS in prisons, to her time as Executive Director at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, where she integrated work on racial and economic justice, religious and faith organizing, and social science research into the Task Force’s mission, to work at the Ford Foundation, the Arcus Foundation, and LPAC, the country’s first lesbian Super PAC. Urv’s leadership, her insight, and her strength will be missed, and in her memory, we will renew our resolve to secure equality, dignity, and opportunity for all Americans.

In this beautiful reflection, our chief strategy officer Heidi Overbeck explores her journey from "impassioned youth" to a more tempered outlook – and toward service without expectation of recompense, and allegiance to freedom for all. #LGBTQ #equality #allies #love
