Rainbow Railroad: Bring Someone to Safety Today

Today, will you consider investing in LGBTQI lives around the world?

Right now, you could be arrested in 70 countries, simply for being who you are. Rainbow Railroad exists to assist LGBTQI people facing violence or persecution perpetrated by governments -- and even their own communities.

Pictured above is Amin, whom Rainbow Railroad brought to safety after he spent weeks being tortured by Chechen authorities. Unfortunately, his story is just one of hundreds of others we move each year from imminent danger. Because of the difficult and often traumatic situations they face, very few can come forward. 

Imagine that the government is after you - but you also cannot return to your own family.

You can see the original broadcast of him (see link below) and others on 60 minutes here - as well as last week's interview 1 year later! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS9FK7_8vmE

During the global pandemic, LGBTQI people around the world are facing even more challenges. In 2020 alone, we've received 1,309 requests for assistance, so today my goal is a dollar for each one. 

Plus, today through June 30 your donation will be doubled - doubling the amount of support we can provide to those in trouble in too many places right now.

Thank you for helping to save a life.
