Your HRC Must-Read

August kicks off a crucial time of change — for HRC, for our youth and the LGBTQ
community as a whole. It's back-to-school season, we're welcoming HRC's next
president, preparing for key Supreme Court cases to be heard and, of course,
continuing to hear 2020 contenders share their visions for our country.

As we enter this time of new beginnings, we hope you're energized and ready for
all the work ahead!
