Through their personal appearances across the country and around the world, Judy and Dennis Shepard are changing hearts and minds by sharing their son Matt’s story and highlighting the importance of standing up for the LGBT community. Join the Arvada Center and the Matthew Shepard Foundation for a free community talkback with Dennis and Judy. It's recommended you see a performance of The Laramie Project before attending this event!
After their son was killed, Judy and Dennis Shepard set out to ensure people recognize the role that hate plays in society and to ask people to do all they can to erase that hate. They founded the Matthew Shepard Foundation on that principle, and the Foundation continues to create open dialogues with a diverse range of people in order to erase hate.
