Join the Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven for a special Pride Month screening of Freeheld, the powerful true story of detective Laurel Hester’s fight to secure pension benefits for her domestic partner, Stacie Andree, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
As local officials deny her request, a movement ignites—led by her police partner and Steven Goldstein, then head of New Jersey’s statewide LGBTQ equality organization. Their battle for justice helped change the law and galvanized a national conversation.
Starring Julianne Moore, Elliot Page, and Steve Carell, Freeheld is a deeply moving testament to love, courage, and the pursuit of equality. We are proud to share this story during Pride Month—and prouder still that Steven Goldstein, portrayed in the film, now serves as Director of our Jewish Community Relations Council.
