On #WorldAIDSDay, HRC remembers those we’ve lost to the epidemic while reminding everyone that we have the power to end HIV and AIDS. We must continue to fight for justice, equality, access to health care and a world without stigma and discrimination. https://www.hrc.org//the-human-rights-campaign-marks-world

Two words. Thank you. You helped us advance #equality forward. Our HRC San Diego family you and all of our members and supporters have never been more engaged. We spoke out against harmful legislation, racial injustice and the growing epidemic of transgender violence. Because of you, we elected the most pro-equality presidential ticket in the history of our nation, together we flipped two key U.S. states. https://youtu.be/qPQ0vS-e3fY

Harvey Milk was a trailblazer for many and one of the first openly LGBTQ elected officials nationwide. On the 42nd anniversary of his assassination, we lift up his legacy and are reminded of the work yet to be done to achieve equality for all.

November is National Adoption Month. Being socially distant from friends and families has been hard, but it’s especially hard for youth awaiting for adoption. Please remember this Thanksgiving that you can make a difference and take action from your home to help them.

Video: Trump’s failure to keep #LGBTQ people safe. This video features Arizona State Representative Jennifer Longdon -- who was paralyzed in a random shooting -- highlights how the Trump-Pence administration’s attempts to undo the Affordable Care Act would leave millions under threat of being denied insurance or care because of preexisting conditions. The Affordable Care Act changed my life, said Arizona State Representative Jennifer Longdon. I didn’t have to worry anymore that my medications -- that my devices weren’t going to be covered, and honestly, once I got better coverage, I was able to become a better contributing member to my community... Electing Joe Biden as president is what stands between us and repeal of the Affordable Care Act. We are all one accident, one injury away from catastrophe. We have to vote.

This year, we reached two grim milestones -- the Human Rights Campaign has recorded the most deaths of transgender and gender non-conforming people of any year since we began tracking this violence, and we have documented more than 200 total deaths. Every life that we have lost this year and every year had value and did not deserve to be cut short. Divisive and dehumanizing rhetoric from anti-equality political leaders has contributed to the toxic mix of racism, sexism and transphobia that drives this horrific violence. It’s on all of us to fight for change at every level and take action to support trans and gender non-conforming people. We must work to dismantle the stigma that so many in the trans and gender non-conforming community face, and bring this violence to an end.

At least 37 transgender or gender non-conforming people have been killed this year, making 2020 the most deadly year on record. This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we must honor their lives by taking action. Enough is enough this epidemic of violence must end. https://www.hrc.org//marking-the-deadliest-year-on-record-

U.S. Senator Kamala Harris is the first woman of color to serve on a major party ticket. Harris has been a steadfast supporter of the #LGBTQ community and has always stood up for the most marginalized communities. Tonight, she will face Vice President Mike Pence on the debate stage and show the American people what a true leader looks like. Following the Presidential Debate on September 29th, the Biden Campaign was able to raise $4 Million in an hour. Let's show Trump and Pence what HRC supporters can do when they take on Sen. Kamala Harris. Donate the Biden Victory fund, via ActBlue. Link below.

We’re ready to elect a true leader for LGBTQ and Equality Voters across the country, which is why we’re excited to support Joe Biden come Election Day!
