HRC knows that mail voting is going to be key for the upcoming election in November. That’s why we’re making sure we educate voters about their voting options, including mail voting, early voting and polling locations on election day.
- HRC is pushing back against common myths about mail voting through a new video campaign. Check out the first few here.
- The HRC Foundation & HIT Strategies released research earlier this month showing that voters of color, including LGBTQ voters of color, are seeking safe and secure alternatives to make their voices heard.
- Earlier this year, HRC also announced a new initiative called Vote Equal, Vote Safe, which is focused on ensuring LGBTQ voters and their allies are able to exercise their right to vote this November.

CISSIE GRAHAM LYNCH ATTACKS LGBTQ KIDS AT RNC: Said HRC President Alphonso David (@AlphonsoDavid), “We knew this rhetoric would come from allies of a President dedicated to attacking LGBTQ people at every opportunity. What is particularly shameful is the targeting of some of the most vulnerable in our community: transgender kids. Cissie Graham Lynch’s comments were despicable and must be widely condemned by anyone who claims to be an ally of LGBTQ people. To Trump and his allies: we fight for our community and will see you at the ballot box.” More from HRC.
WHAT WE’RE READING WEDNESDAY -- HRC CRITICIZES NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE FOR ENCOURAGING ATTACKS ON GINA ORTIZ JONES BASED ON HER SEXUAL ORIENTATION: “These personal, homophobic and transphobic attacks shows how shameless and low Tony Gonzales and the NRCC are willing to go in the race for Texas’s 23rd Congressional District,” said HRC Texas State Director Rebecca Marques (@_RebeccaMarques). “It also shows how shallow their case is against a formidable veteran candidate of color and member of the LGBTQ community.”
