About the Human Rights Campaign
Our Mission Statement
As America's largest gay and lesbian organization, the Human Rights
Campaign provides a national voice on gay and lesbian issues. The Human
Rights Campaign effectively lobbies Congress; mobilizes grassroots
action in diverse communities; invests strategically to elect a
fair-minded Congress; and increases public understanding through
innovative education and communication strategies.
HRC is a bipartisan organization that works to advance equality based
on sexual orientation and gender expression and identity, to ensure that
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans can be open, honest and
safe at home, at work and in the community.
What We Do: An Overview
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 workplace, family,
discrimination and health issues. The HRC Foundation, an HRC-affiliated
organization, engages in extensive research and provides education and
programming.  more
