Read HRC President Alphonso David’s recent letter about how HRC is continuing the fight for LGBTQ equality during this time.
Read the brief from the HRC Foundation on all the ways that Covid-19 is impacting lives and livelihoods of LGBTQ people. HRC has been using this data to lobby elected officials to ensure our needs are met in current and upcoming relief efforts and legislation. If you are looking for or evaluating healthcare facilities, HRC’s Healthcare Equality Index rates hospitals and medical centers in terms of their policies related to the equity and inclusion of their LGBTQ patients, visitors, and staff. You can look up facilities in Illinois or other states to see how welcoming they are to the LGBTQ community. Become a member of HRC if you are not already to help us elect pro-equality leaders to local, state and federal office. Even in this pandemic, lawmakers in state legislatures are still pushing anti-LGBTQ laws, and the federal response to this crisis has clearly shown the need for competent and steady leadership.
