We provide expertise, create and disseminate tools and resources, and exert influence to effect social justice and human rights for individuals and families.

Media Strategy...

The Human Rights Campaign and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation have a long history of partnering with documentary film makers whose work brings to life stories of discrimination against LGBT individuals. Our involvement takes a variety of forms from promoting the film among our members and supporters to writing complimentary discussion guides or curricula to accompany the film. We often incorporate the use of such films in our Public Education and Outreach Division in such areas as school bullying, religion and faith, transgender education and workplace fairness.
