For too long in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) voices have been toned down, quiet or missing.

We are changing that. This is a call to action: Let’s keep the momentum going, raise our voices, increase our visibility and secure an equal place in society and the power of our full representation in the electoral process.

Take Action Today & Volunteer with HRC.

Celebrating AANHPI Heritage, today & every day

AANHPI AND PROUD. 🏳️🌈 Midway through AANHPI Heritage Month, this is your reminder that AANHPI voices have been toned down for too long in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality.
