This administration continues to abuse its power to make life harder for Americans—from attacking our health care and eroding public education to undermining our freedom of speech and trust in our government at large. No one should be able to silence those who disagree with them.

Trey Reed lit up a room when he walked in. He was a Black student at Delta State, and family and friends say he was a kind soul with a bright future. We know the generational history of racial violence in Mississippi and at Delta State. A full investigation must be followed — full stop.

With National Coming Out Day less than a month away, we’ve highlighted five things you can do RIGHT NOW to show your pride and support for LGBTQ+ equality. Mark your calendars for National Coming Out Day on October 11, and head to hrc.im/comingout to join us in celebrating the beauty of coming out.

No one deserves the violence and dehumanization Alice Correia Barbosa endured at the hands of the federal government. And we know targeting immigrants and LGBTQ+ people are not unrelated. It’s all part of Donald Trump’s coordinated attack on liberty and justice.

As a mom who just sent little ones back to school and as a woman of faith, I am devastated that yet again children are dead and more are fighting for their lives after being gunned down at a church and school. How many more of our babies must die before Congress gets weapons of war off our streets?

Every child should be safe in their communities, free from gun violence. As a mom and a person of faith, I'm heartbroken for these families and I'm furious that this carnage continues in America. Our hearts are with the victims and we demand that lawmakers take commonsense action to end this horror.

@hrc.org is hitting the road to share stories that expose the truth, affirm life, and demand justice. Stories like a worsening public health crisis in Ohio following last year's state ban on health care for trans youth. This week, we kicked off our American Dreams Tour in Columbus.

Let’s remind this country what’s always been true: WE are the American Dream. Your story, your joy, your dream—they all matter. Share them with us using our official filter and become a part of the American Dreams Tour: AmericanDreamsHRC.org

Our community lost a giant this week. May Andrea's legacy continue guiding us forward with compassion, resilience, and hope. Rest in power.

@lambdalegalceo.bsky.social is spot on. Where would we be had our ancestors waited until the time was "right" to demand their civil liberties? We must carry their fight forward — now. Our communities deserve it and the moment demands it.
