On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

While today often brings backyard barbecues and the official start of summer, let’s take a quiet moment to reflect on the true meaning of the day.

To the fallen heroes, and the families who carry their legacy: we are profoundly grateful. 🇺🇸✨

Support two candidates this AANHPI Heritage Month!

HRC's AANHPI & Proud Leadership Council is committed to helping elect pro-equality candidates in November. This year, to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month, they are supporting two openly LGBTQ+ AANHPI candidates.

Eric Chung:
Candidate for U.S. House, MI-10
Eric Chung is running to flip a U.S. House seat from red to blue in Michigan's 10th Congressional district. Eric is openly LGBTQ+ and a child of Vietnamese immigrants. He started his career as a teacher before going to law school and serving as a staffer at the Senate Judiciary Committee. President Biden appointed him to a senior position at the Commerce Department where he worked on policy that directly benefited his community in Michigan. This race is an opportunity to flip a U.S. House seat and win back a pro-equality majority.

Bentley Hudgins:
Candidate for Georgia State House, HD-090
Bentley Hudgins is a longtime community organizer and LGBTQ+ advocate running to represent Georgia's 90th State House district. Throughout their career, including as HRC’s Georgia State Director, Hudgins organized to build people power – from registering thousands of voters to helping over 20,000 Georgians access COVID vaccines – while fighting for the rights of Georgia’s LGBTQ+ community. If elected, Bentley will be the first Japanese-American and first openly non-binary legislator in Georgia.
