Tomorrow Will be Different
Sarah McBride
Sarah McBride’s captivating and powerful memoir Tomorrow Will be Different…Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality is a book about falling in love, being true to yourself, and creating change. In her groundbreaking, poignant memoir, Ms. McBride, with revolutionary fervor and down to earth kindness, tells the story of coming out as trans and of the terrain, both personal and political, for transgender people and those who love them. A fearless activist, her live-changing, brave memoir will inspire and change the way we look at identity and equality in this country. Tomorrow will be Different offers a message of encouragement for all, especially the LGBTQ community, while reminding us that the fight for equality is just getting started and that we can do better to advocate on behalf of all people for a better, glorious, kinder future.
Sarah McBride is the National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign and author of Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality. In 2012, Sarah made national headlines when she came out as transgender while serving as student body president at American University. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, Sarah serves on the Board of Directors of Equality Delaware, the state’s primary LGBTQ-advocacy organization. In that capacity, Sarah helped lead the successful effort to add gender identity and expression to her state’s nondiscrimination and hate-crimes laws. In 2008, Sarah worked for Governor Jack Markell (D-DE) and, in 2010, for former Attorney General Beau Biden (D-DE). Prior to coming to HRC, Sarah worked on LGBTQ equality at the Center for American Progress and interned at the White House, the first out trans woman to do so.
Sarah became the first openly transgender person to address a major party political convention when she spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
