Solidarity in Pride Solidarity in Pride

In over 60 countries around the world, queer and trans people face persecution for celebrating and affirming their LGBTQI+ identity, simply because of who they are or who they love. Against the rising global tide of anti-LGBTQI+ sentiment and legislation, we call for Solidarity in Pride and a collective commitment to queer liberation.

There are 110 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, and LGBTQI+ communities are uniquely vulnerable to the impact of forced displacement. We have an ambitious Strategic Plan to tackle this problem head-on, but we need your support. This work requires partnership and solidarity. 

Solidarity with the 15,000+ at-risk LGBTQI+ individuals who will reach out to us for support this year.

Solidarity with local partners we work alongside worldwide to fight anti-LGBTQI+ persecution.

Solidarity with our global community helping to create home and belonging for LGBTQI+ refugees

Until we are all free to celebrate and affirm our LGBTQI+ identity, there is work to be done to help at-risk LGBTQI+ people move from Persecution to Pride. This is a costly but critical undertaking, and with your solidarity, we can co-create a world where LGBTQI+ people can safely live, work, and play with dignity and pride.

Show your solidarity this Pride by donating to Rainbow Railroad and becoming a part of someone’s journey from Persecution to Pride. With your help, we can raise $2 million by June 30th, ensuring vital support for the thousands of individuals who will turn to Rainbow Railroad for assistance this year.

Every LGBTQI+ person deserves freedom. And every gift contributes to the vital resources that help us build community, home and belonging for at-risk LGBTQI+ individuals around the world.
