Equality Texas' 8th Annual Gala

Annual Gala

November 21, 2026 | 6:00-9:00pm | JW Marriott Austin

Our Biggest Event of the Year!

This year’s theme, Deep Roots, reminds us that movements are not built in moments of ease. They are built over decades of showing up for one another, investing in one another, and refusing to be uprooted.

Grounded in community, Growing toward freedom.
