Terry II, founder of Red Door Foundation and former co-director of HRC’s HIV and Health Equity Project (@Marvellous2theT) in an oped for the Memphis Commercial Appeal. “Yet this health policy may undermine all progress we’ve made and endanger the lives of people all across the South — and the United States — living with HIV.” More from Commercial Appeal.
HRC STANDS WITH MUSLIM COMMUNITY AFTER TERRORIST ATTACK ON MOSQUES IN NEW ZEALAND: “We are heartbroken and outraged by this terrorist attack on Muslims in places of worship, and we mourn for the victims and their families,” said HRC President Chad Griffin (@ChadHGriffin) on Friday. “We call on politicians who traffic in dangerous anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant hate speech, including Donald Trump, to immediately stop the fear-mongering and divisive politics that can have deadly consequences.” More from Washington Blade, NPR and HRC.
Heartbroken & outraged by this senseless attack on Muslims in places of worship. Hate violence against Muslims is a global epidemic fueled by the toxic combination of Islamaphobia & xenophobia that has already led to tragedies here & globally. We stand with the Muslim community.
