SOLIDARITY IN PRIDE
Then. Now. Always.
Pride is a moment. Solidarity is a movement. For 20 years, Rainbow Railroad has helped LGBTQI+ people escape danger and get to safety.
Pride started as a protest. So did we.
In 2006, a small group of activists began helping LGBTQI+ people flee violence and persecution.
Today, that small group is a global movement. We have supported nearly 50,000 people through relocation, crisis response, and cash assistance.
More people
than ever are reaching out for help. Pride is a moment. Solidarity is a movement. For 20 years, Rainbow Railroad has helped LGBTQI+ people escape danger and get to safety.
Governments are stepping back. Our community is stepping up.
Pride, everywhere people need it.
Freedom Party Toronto brings the community together to dance, celebrate, and fundraise, and Pride events across Canada, the US, and the UK keep our mission visible all month.
hosts a virtual Pride march inside the video game Guild Wars 2, and this June marks its 10th year. Players join from countries where being LGBTQI+ is still criminalized. For some, it's their first Pride.

Jumana, a trans woman from Egypt, reached out to us in 2019. Living openly in her country could have cost her life. In 2023, with our Emergency Travel Support, she relocated to Germany. Today she says she feels "safe and free." "When I passed through border control, it was a moment I can't forget for the rest of my life. It was like a dream for me."
Then. Now. Always.
Two decades ago, we were built by communities who refused to be silent. This Pride, that work continues, with you.
