Charlotte Anora Elizabeth Clymer[2] is an American activist, press secretary, and writer. She is the director of communications and strategy at Catholics for Choice.[3] She was previously the press secretary for rapid response at the Human Rights Campaign, an American LGBTQ civil rights organization.[4][5]

Career

She joined the United States Army in 2005,[6] and later enrolled in the United States Military Academy.[4] She served in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), based at Arlington National Cemetery, until 2012.[6] After leaving the Army, she moved to Washington, D.C. and took a job as a visitor services representative at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. After working there for a year, she enrolled at Georgetown University and finished her bachelor's degree.[4]

In 2017, Clymer began working at the Human Rights Campaign,[4] the largest LGBTQ advocacy group and political lobbying organization in the United States.[5] In 2020, Clymer was included in Fortune magazine's 40 Under 40 list in the "Government and Politics" category.[7] In 2021, Clymer joined Catholics for Choice as the director of communications and strategy.[3] Catholics for Choice is an abortion rights dissenting Catholic advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.[8]

Clymer

Clymer is an outspoken activist on issues including LGBTQ rights, feminism, and veterans' affairs.[9][10][11][12]

Dave Smith, on his Twitter account, asked for some public outrage against the "Covid passports," which actually mix personal tracking with features similar to Soviet-era "internal passports."[13] This received pushback from Clymer, who replied: "It seems human rights only matter if those human beings aren't Nazi propagandists."[14] Smith noted that Clymer was one of the people decrying Holocaust/Nazi-era references, but Clymer had done the same in the past.[15]

Personal life

Clymer was raised in central Texas, after moving with her mother from Utah at a young age.[4] In November 2017, she came out as a transgender woman.[4]
