===== History =====

==== 2020 U.S. Presidential Election ====

In May 2020, HRC endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 United States presidential election.((Mucha, S. (2020, May 6). //Human Rights Campaign endorses Biden on anniversary of his support for same-sex marriage.// CNN. https://web.archive.org/web/20220714162041/https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/06/politics/human-rights-campaign-endorses-joe-biden/index.html)) The organization engaged in a widespread "Get out the vote" campaign to increase voter registration and turnout in-person and through [[mail-in voting]]. These efforts included stationing "HRC ground troops" in critical battleground states to support non-heterosexual candidates, acting as poll workers and other volunteer positions.((Madison, J.
