Today, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Human Rights Campaign Interim President Joni Madison issued the following statement:
“Martin Luther King Jr. taught us that only love can drive out hate. Every MLK Day, we bring life to his words by spreading love throughout our communities in the form of acts of service. This year, there could be no greater act of love and service than working to pass federal voting legislation to ensure no one is denied the right to vote. This is a crucial way in which we can truly be of service to our communities. Passing this legislation will go a long way towards fulfilling MLK’s dream of a world where all people can sit together at the table of democracy as equals.”
The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ+ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community.
