Happy Birthday to Marsha P. Johnson, a key figure in the Stonewall Riots and Gay Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Today we celebrate her on her birthday, and we honor her every day by continuing the fight for equality. #MarshaPJohnson #lgbtqhistory #humanrightscampaign

We know news headlines can be scary.

Marriage equality is the law of the land — and we’ll never stop fighting to keep it that way. Here are some facts around the anti-equality petition to the Supreme Court:

Burnt orange back ground with tan stars in the top left and bottom right corners. Two social media tan text blocks with orange text. The first reading, "To be as gay as possible," the second reading " a country for the people by the people.

Burnt orange back ground with tan stars in the top left and bottom right corners. A social media post tan block with orange text that reads, "Freedom and Equality for All."

Burnt orange back ground with tan stars in the top left and bottom right corners. Two social media tan text blocks with orange text. The first reading, "Having equal rights and human rights," the second reading "My American Dream is built on a foundation of universal human and economic rights, where no one experiences poverty and we can all thrive."

Burnt orange back ground with tan stars in the top left and bottom right corners. A social media post tan block with orange text that reads, "Being able to be and accomplish whatever without fear or discrimination."

Each of us—our stories, our joy, our dreams—makes up the American Dream.

We asked what the American Dream means to you and you did not disappoint. Telling our stories and dreams is what makes change possible. Tell yours: hrc.im/yourstory

Mental Health Resources in the LGBTQ+ Community We know these times feel heavy. The rise in attacks on the LGBTQ+ community and the loss of the dedicated 988 lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth can feel like yet…

See our list of LGBTQ+ mental health resources: hrc.im/LGBTQMentalH...

Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, and more LGBTQ+ nonprofits are providing critical mental health resources in the wake of the Trump Administration’s decision to shut down the 988 Lifeline.

We’re saddened and frustrated that the Trump administration is ending the 988 Lifeline. Thankfully, there are other hotlines and mental health resources for LGBTQ+ people, which we’re sharing below 👇

Please check in on your queer loved ones, and know that we stand together in community. 💙 💛

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

As @mcbride.house.gov said, we will not let our trans and nonbinary communities be used as political pawns.

We will continue to show up for our community and fight back against attacks on our freedoms.

These are not ordinary times: How the Human Rights Campaign plans to move forward Kelley Robinson, the president of Human Rights Campaign, lays out what the organization will do next after a major restructuring.

"Every executive action, congressional betrayal of our basic rights, hateful declarations from those in power – these aren't random acts of bigotry. They're part of a deliberate strategy to create chaos, instill fear, and roll back decades of progress that try to erase our existence."

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Monday was the beginning of a long and dark road ahead — and we’re here, we’re strong, and we’re fighting back.

Our movement has faced hard times, and each time, we have come out stronger on the other side. We must stay informed, take care of ourselves, and remain connected to our community.

It will take time before these go into effect—and we will do everything possible to protect our communities. Our legal and policy experts are analyzing, and we will fight back in the courts and in Congress.

Hope is on the horizon.

Trailblazers like Sarah McBride, the first trans person elected to Congress, and pro-equality champions are forging a path forward for LGBTQ+ people through community and resilience.

In the most recent issue of EQUALITY, we share the bright lights of hope: hrc.org/magazine
