ORLANDO | Equality Florida and Brandon Wolf, the organization’s former press secretary, announced Sept. 5 that the LGBTQ+ advocate and author will serve as such for the Human Rights Campaign.
“Four years ago, I made a life-changing decision to leave a career at Starbucks to join the Equality Florida family,” Wolf said in a statement. “I had no idea what to expect, and I didn’t know where the work would take me.
“I couldn’t have predicted the anti-LGBTQ fury we’d be faced with,” he continued. “What I do know is this: I joined a hard-working, dedicated staff surrounded by passionate volunteers who are unstoppable in the fight for our community.”
Wolf, who recently shared he’d be moving from Orlando to Washington, D.C., noted that the fight has led him “to our nation’s capital to become National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign.” He called that the news is “a testament to the power of Equality Florida” and its supporters.
Equality Florida also reflected on Wolf’s new role via social media.
“While we’ll miss Brandon on the Equality Florida team, we know he’s taking the experience and insights we’ve developed here in Florida to guide how our movement responds nationally to extremists who seek to strip away basic rights, censor our existence, and embolden those that seek to harm us,” they shared.
“We’re not losing a frontline warrior,” they concluded, “we are gaining an even deeper connection to a vital national resource! And we look forward to our continued work with Brandon and the entire HRC team!”
