In just 60 seconds, an LGBTQI+ person can be forced to flee their home.
Rainbow Railroad is launching our annual 60in60 campaign. For the last 60 days of the year, we’re focusing on the critical impact that 60 seconds can have in our work.
We receive an average of 60 requests for help every day, from LGBTQI+ people around the world in need of support.
When the U.S. Administration cut United States Agency for International Development funding, the world’s largest source of humanitarian aid, many individuals resettling through our programs lost access to financial support for housing, medication, and basic needs. In response, Rainbow Railroad stepped up to fill the gap, proving that immediate cash support works.
Through initiatives like the Communities of Care program, the Community Access Fund, and the Housing and Livelihood Assistance Fund, we’ve seen how direct financial aid provides queer refugees with safety, dignity, and autonomy. This year-end, we’re meeting this crisis head-on: ensuring LGBTQI+ refugees not only survive but have the foundation to rebuild their lives in safety, continuing a proud legacy of solidarity and mutual aid.
In just 60 seconds, an LGBTQI+ person can be forced to flee their home. Because of who they are or who they love, LGBTQI+ people around the world are losing their employment, their housing, and their sense of safety.
In just 60 seconds, someone can take their first steps towards a safer future. With Rainbow Railroad’s support, they can secure a room in a safe house, board a flight, or receive cash to help them access food, medicine, or other immediate relief.
In just 60 seconds, you can make a donation to Rainbow Railroad, sign up to fundraise, and help support the most critical moments in someone’s pathway to safety.
Donate or sign up to fundraise today to contribute to immediate relief for an LGBTQI+ person at risk.
In the time it takes to give, you can help someone take their first step to safety, and that’s a moment that can change a life forever.
