Sarah M. Moore (she/her) is the Security Team Lead at GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy group. At GLAAD, she launched the ALERT Desk — the first-ever comprehensive database tracking acts of anti-LGBTQ hate and extremism in the US. Since 2024, Moore & the Anti-LGBTQ Extremism Reporting Tracker (ALERT Desk) have been featured hundreds of times in outlets like the Washington Post, AP, NBC, and CBS’s 48 Hours, and the data is regularly used by lawmakers to advocate for pro-equality policies nationwide.
Moore was named to Out in National Security’s (ONS) 2025 Out Leaders List. She previously worked as the anti-LGBTQ extremism analyst for the Center on Extremism and as an analyst for the University of Maryland’s Global Terrorism Database. She also volunteered with Bellingcat’s Global Authentication Project where she helped to document war crimes during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Moore received her MA in Security Studies from Georgetown University and her BA from Miami University.
At the Summit
This cannot be thought of as a conference or a summit. The stakes are simply too high and the data/conversation and methods to drive action more valuable/motivating than any gathering I have attended. I took more than 100 pages of notes and have shared them with my CBS News leadership team, anchors, producers, and correspondents. Nothing about this gathering was easy. The agony around this topic is real. But no one curious about it could ask for a more devoted, rational, or unflinching look into this dark but decipherable world.
