By empowering and mobilizing people at the grassroots level, HRC Chicago aims to create impactful change, providing advocacy for HRC’s mission and work on the ground. HRC Chicago is a dedicated team of volunteers who use their experience and talents to develop a more affirming, inclusive, and equitable community.
HRC Launches $15M “Let’s Get Free” Electoral Program to Power Pro‑Equality Wins This Midterm Cycle. Our goal is to flip the U.S. House, gain ground in the U.S. Senate, and expand the number of openly LGBTQ+ elected officials across the nation.
In March 2026, HRC Chicago volunteers attended the 2026 Equality In Action weekend in Washington, DC. It was a chance for our volunteers to meet with our elected officials and lobby for their support of pro-equality legislation. The weekend ended with a celebration hosted by Human Rights Campaign President, Kelly Robinson (photo above with the HRC Chicago steering committee.)
