Supporting Fair-Minded Candidates
Pro-equality laws come from pro-equality leaders. When fair-minded Americans come together to support political candidates who support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights, those candidates later become elected officials who help to enact laws that enhance the rights of their LGBT constituents.
The Human Rights Campaign offers campaign support for targeted pro-equality candidates. Through extensive get-out-the-vote efforts, partnerships with like-minded organizations and financial contributions to candidates, HRC plays a major role in elections across the country. HRC provides assistance with message development, educational advertisements, get-out-the-vote mailings and phone calls, grassroots membership mobilization and fundraising.
HRC operates one of the largest and most successful political action committees in the country, which endorses fair-minded federal candidates and provides them with financial support. HRC members are also able to contribute directly to HRC-endorsed candidates through HRC’s online contribution “bundling” program.
