The Human Rights Campaign: Advocating for Equality for Everyone

Founded in 1980, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is the largest civil rights organization dedicated to achieving equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. With over a million members and supporters across the country, HRC advocates for fairness for all at work and in the community through its various outreach, advocacy, and education programs.

The Human Rights Campaign's programs include the HRC Coming Out Project, which encourages LGBT Americans to come out and live their lives openly by providing empowering resources and guidance. The organization also runs the HRC Family Project, which is catered to LGBT families; it provides up-to-date information on relevant matters such as civil unions, marriage, adoption, parenting, schools, state laws and legislation, and more. Meanwhile, the HRC Workplace Project offers resources, on-site training, and expert counsel to executives and decision makers to help them position their company as a workplace that respects employees of all sexual orientations.
