HRC President Kelley Robinson Testifies on Rise of Anti-LGBTQ+ Extremism and Violence

Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization, just finished testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and Reform Committee about the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ extremism and violence in the United States in the wake of the recent Club Q shooting. At the hearing, titled “The Rise of Anti-LGBTQI+ Extremism and Violence in the United States,” Robinson discussed the threats facing the LGBTQ+ community, including a rise in online harassment, anti-LGBTQ+ state legislation, threats of violence, and attacks on queer spaces and people, particularly Black and brown transgender women. Policy and Political Affairs at HRC consists of our Government Affairs department, the Legal Department, the Campaigns and Organizing Team, the Political Action Committee, and other programs. The Government Affairs department engages with Congress and the administration to advance pro-equality federal policy. The Legal Department is dedicated to legal policy change through the courts, legislatures, and administrative bodies at the international, federal, state, and local level. The Campaigns and Organizing team is based throughout the country and focused on building political organizing capacity within the LGBTQ+ movement. The Political Action Committee (PAC), which is governed by the Public Policy Committee (PPC), makes endorsements in federal, state, and local races and can coordinate electoral activities and contribute to those campaigns. The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where every member of the LGBTQ+ family has the freedom to live their truth without fear, and with equality under the law. We empower our 3 million members and supporters to mobilize against attacks on the most marginalized people in our community. Follow us!
