The Advocacy Council for Human Rights

About the ACHR


The Advocacy Council for Human Rights is dedicated to the implementation of full civil rights protections for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people (the GLBT community).

Founded as a non-profit group in 1995, the ACHR is an active service organization that works for GLBT-friendly legislation, conducts outreach programs, and fosters  communication within and outside of the GLBT community.

The ACHR Mission Statement

“We pledge ourselves to the awakening of compassion and understanding between all peoples. We strive to end discrimination and to foster mutual respect regardless of sexual orientation, creed, race, gender, or physical ability.”

Supporting the Work of the ACHR

ACHR is always looking for volunteers to help with the activities that we sponsor.  If you are interested in helping ACHR, you may contact ACHR through the ACHR e-mail.

Even though the ACHR is a volunteer group, we do incur expenses for basic organizational expenses like newsletter printing, telephone and sharing of physical plant facilities. We encourage ACHR sponsorship at one of the following levels:

  • $10 – Member
  • $25 – Donor
  • $50 – Sponsor (this level and above includes an ACHR Pride shirt!)
  • $100 – Patron
  • $500 – Sustaining Member
  • $1,000 – Lifetime Member

Any level of financial support is appreciated, and will enable the ACHR to meet its financial obligations and organizational goals.

You may contact any of the Board members through the ACHR e-mail.
