HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN

Reviews from previous dinners...

"...Elizabeth Birch's speech hit upon the importance of both local and national efforts to support HRC and it's work. It was refreshing to see how my donations makes a difference."

Ana Maldonado, dinner attendee

"What I really enjoyed was the feeling of safety and empowerment...

It was such a rush to see so many people organized together for the sake of human rights and equal rights."

Dave Haynik, Volunteer

'The dance truly topped off an evening which celebrated our commitment, as a community, to achieving equal rights."

Lisa Bohlander, Committee Member

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.
