HRC mourns loss of pioneering LGBTQ advocate Donna Red Wing |
WASHINGTON - [On April 17], the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) civil rights organization, released the following statement mourning the loss of Donna Red Wing:
'The HRC family is deeply saddened by the loss of our friend, Donna Red Wing. She dedicated her life's work to civil rights, and her legacy will forever be woven into the fabric of the LGBTQ equality movement,' said HRC Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs JoDee Winterhof. 'Many in the HRC family had the honor of working alongside Donna during her time as HRC's National Field Director and across many states and campaigns in more recent years. For more than three decades, generations of advocates bore witness to Donna's tenacity, deep commitment to equality and justice, and her many accomplishments, which inspired all those around her. Our hearts go out to Donna's family and many friends who are grieving her loss.'
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.
