 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!
