Do you know the value of building diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplaces? From the ability to attract and retain the very best talent, to the increased engagement and productivity of a diverse workforce, to the new market opportunities afforded to inclusive businesses – leading U.S. companies committed to inclusion are working to build workplaces welcoming of transgender and gender non-conforming employees.

Governor Mike Pence Is Bad For America

Vice Presidential candidate Indiana Governor Mike Pence earned wide criticism last year for signing a discriminatory anti-LGBTQ law in Indiana that harmed Hoosiers and cost his state millions. Pence’s track record includes opposing hate crimes legislation and the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ backing anti-LGBTQ activists. He even supported offsetting funding for HIV prevention with funding for the abusive practice of so-called “conversion therapy.”

#FairDrugPricesNow

The HRC Foundation, in partnership with the Treatment Action Group and the Fair Pricing Coalition, launched a new public education and outreach campaign to raise awareness about the unfair system of drug pricing in the United States and the disproportionate impact this system has on the LGBTQ community, especially LGBTQ people living with and susceptible to HIV. The social and digital media campaign – #FairDrugPricesNow – features this new educational video that explains why so many people are paying an arm and a leg for prescription medications they need and what steps we can take to fix this broken system.

HRC Members Gather to #TurnOut the Vote in Orlando
#TurnOut the Vote in Orlando”>

Last night, Democratic VP nominee Tim Kaine joined HRC President Chad Griffin, Gabby Giffords, and hundreds of pro-equality Florida votes at HRC’s Debate watch party.

Through HRC’s #turnOUT 2016 campaign, HRC is working to mobilize and turn out LGBTQ and pro-equality voters in Florida and other battleground states across the country. In Florida, the LGBTQ community play a decisive role in the election. The LGBTQ adult voting bloc is more than half a million — or 560,000 — in the Sunshine State — and in 2012, President Obama won Florida by just over 70,000 votes.

Help HRC #turnOUT the vote this election season for pro-equality candidates up and down the ballot! Register to vote today and learn more about how you can get involved, visit:
