Leading the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
We’ve spent more than 40 years creating the most powerful movement for equality our country has ever seen. But despite this progress, our most marginalized are still suffering from violence, discrimination and fear. Our goal is to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people, and particularly those of us who are trans, people of color and HIV+, are treated as full and equal citizens within our movement, across our country and around the world.
HRC Foundation Introduces The Vaccinated & Proud Initiative
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Religion & Faith Program has partnered with the Biden-Harris administration and Made to Save for the National Vaccine Month of Action. The initiative aims to mobilize LGBTQ-affirming faith communities around the U.S. to maximize vaccination outreach during Pride Month activities, and will be a part of the White House’s vaccination plan of action and goal of 70% of adults receiving at least one vaccine shot by July 4.
On June 14th, HRC Foundation, the White House Office of Public Engagement and the Washington National Cathedral kicked off the national vaccination campaign with a virtual launch event where community members and faith leaders learned more about the various initiatives and how to get involved.
White House Senior Advisor for Public Engagement Josh Dickson, HRC President Alphonso David, HRC Foundation Religion & Faith Director Michael Vazquez, as well as Canon Missioner and Minister of Equity and Inclusion at the National Cathedral Rev. Canon Leonard L. Hamlin, Sr., and Senior Pastor of Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, Texas, Rev. Dr. Neil Thomas, joined the event. Watch below:
