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 Ray, whom Rainbow Railroad brought to safety after his house was shot up and he was threatened with being burned alive. He actually slept in a hearse for a year because it was the only safe place he could find . 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.

During the global pandemic, LGBTQI people around the world are facing even more challenges. In 2020 alone, Rainbow Railroad has received 1,158 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 RR can provide to those in trouble in too many places right now.
Thank you for helping to save a life.
