Summary

The spirit of Pride lives through a collective affirmation of liberation, unconditional acceptance of expression and identity, and a commitment to justice. The HRC student fellowship alumni highlighted in this project have each committed themselves to a more free and equitable world-for all. Each is making meaningful contributions to their communities, and their work collectively spotlights the intersectional approaches needed to manifest systemic change. Some are centering LGBTQIA+ voices in their work, others are increasing access to civil liberties and human rights, and others identify as proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
