The Human Rights Campaign is
America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and
engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against GLBT
citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and
equality for all.
HRC seeks to improve the lives of GLBT Americans by advocating for equal
rights and benefits in the workplace, ensuring families are treated
equally under the law and increasing public support among all Americans
through innovative advocacy, education and outreach programs. HRC works
to secure equal rights for GLBT individuals and families at the federal
and state levels by lobbying elected officials, mobilizing grassroots
supporters, educating Americans, investing strategically to elect
fair-minded officials and partnering with other GLBT
organizations.
The Human Rights Campaign, the largest
national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy organization,
envisions an America where GLBT people are ensured of their basic equal
rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the
community. HRC has close to 600,000 members — all committed to
making this vision of equality a reality.
Founded in 1980, HRC effectively
lobbies Congress, provides campaign support to fair-minded candidates,
and works to educate the public on a wide array of topics affecting GLBT
Americans, including relationship recognition, workplace, family, and
health issues. The HRC Foundation — an HRC-affiliated organization
— engages in research and provides public education and
programming. more
