100 DAYS IN: ALPHONSO DAVID IS BUILDING THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN: “One hundred days in, I am proud of what we have already accomplished together,” said HRC President Alphonso David (@AlphonsoDavid). “We have launched new initiatives that will empower and support our community’s most marginalized members, protect foundational rights and institutions of our democracy, deepen our commitment to ensuring racial justice in all that we do and expand our national footprint. And this is only the beginning. For 40 years, the Human Rights Campaign has been working to build a society in which every person can thrive — no matter who they are or whom they love. Now, as we turn toward 2020 and the most important election of our lifetimes, I am more committed and hopeful than ever because of the stronger organization, movement and nation that we are building together.” Read more from HRC.
