Watch Live Now: Last Day of Democratic Convention Features Top LGBT, Civil Rights, Political Leaders

Speakers and Celebrities Include Icons and Role Models 

The final day of the 2016 Democratic National Convention kicks off at 4:00 PM EDT from Philadelphia, and the list of speakers and performers is top-notch.

The Co-Chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, who led the charge for an important LGBT equality bill in May, will speak. So will U.S. Representative Tammy Duckworth. Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin will address the convention, as will LGBT rights activist Sarah McBride – who will become the first openly-transgender person to address a major party’s national convention tonight.

Other speakers include Civil Rights leaders and icons Dolores Huerta and U.S. Representative James Clyburn. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski and the Democratic Women of the Senate. And U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown.

If that’s not enough to draw in Democrats and possible Democratic voters, the celebrity lineup includes Katy Perry, Ted Danson & Mary Steenburgen, Sheila E + Family, and Carole King.

And, of course, the evening’s headline speaker is Hillary Clinton, who will formally accept the Democratic nomination and become the first woman ever to be nominated for president by a major political party. Clinton will deliver a speech in which she is expected “tell Americans that the nation faces a ‘moment of reckoning’ as it decides between her and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.”
