The Real Reveal: Chris Hampton

 

Meet Chris


When you have been an activist for as long as I have you see people come and go. This work is exhausting. It's one step forward and two steps back most of the time. In fact, the majority of the people that were activists with me in college do not still have that focus. They still vote and are active politically, but they aren't doing the day to day grind.

My friend Chris Hampton is the exception. Chris was my friend and fellow activist in 1995 and is still engaged in the work. Chris has worked for the ACLU and is the main connection point for Trans youth that have law suits pending in their states or with their school districts.

I wanted to you to meet Chris for a myriad of reasons, but most importantly because her commitment is so strong for queer youth. All of us do this work for our kids so the next generation will have it easier than we do. Chris lives for this work every day at the ACLU and it’s constantly in her heart. It is my pleasure to introduce you to my friend Chris Hampton.
