On September 20, 2022, the Human Rights Campaign announced that Kelley Robinson will serve as its ninth president — the first Black, queer woman to lead the organization. Robinson is widely respected for her work over the last 15 years creating and leading winning campaigns and programs. She steps into her new role at HRC after serving as Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. From community organizer to progressive leader, Robinson has been at the forefront in the fight for bodily autonomy and racial and gender equity, with a focus on lifting up marginalized communities and building political power. Robinson will lead HRC — and our more than 3 million member advocates — as the organization fulfills its mission to realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
