The LGBTQ+ Victory Institute's International Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., opened its second day with a rare scene: three of the nation's top law enforcement officials detailed what it means to confront a federal government they describe as destabilizing democratic norms in real time. The Friday plenary, titled "Women + Power: Attorneys General Defending Equality and Justice," brought Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to the stage of the JW Marriott's grand ballroom.
