It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we lost Madeleine Albright. There’s not a day that goes by that I don't think about her, that I don’t miss her.
She was a role model to me and so many women around the world. And she left an indelible mark on our country and the world.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act passed by the Ugandan Parliament yesterday would undermine fundamental human rights of all Ugandans and could reverse gains in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We urge the Ugandan Government to strongly reconsider the implementation of this legislation.

Thank you, @RepCicilline and @RepRitchie, for joining us yesterday for the second-ever LGBTI-specific Arria at the United Nations.

“All human beings,” reads the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, let us commit to making these rights real for everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity.
