Family, this week on Queer News, Anna DeShawn continues to bring you the stories that matter most to our community, and this one is all about power through unity!

We have an exclusive interview with national and local leaders from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC): Nik (VP of Strategic Initiatives) and Stephen (Chicago Steering Committee). They break down the organization's essential work, led by the first Black queer woman, Kelly Robinson.

Learn how HRC is fighting legislative attacks, supporting pro-equality candidates, and changing hearts and minds across the country through the American Dreams Tour. Nik lays out the four ways HRC needs you right now: Time, Talent, Treasure, or Testimony.

This is your call to action! Find out how you can join the fight and learn about the upcoming HRC Chicago Dinner to sustain the work. Get your tickets today, https://chicago.hrc.org/chicago-dinner.
