Today, will you consider investing in LGBTQIA+ lives around the world?
Right now, you could be arrested in 70 countries, simply for being who you are. Rainbow Railroad exists to assist LGBTQIA+ people facing violence or persecution perpetrated by governments -- and even their own communities.
One such person assisted by Rainbow Railroad is Amin, who was brought to safety after he spent weeks being tortured by Chechen authorities. Unfortunately, his story is just one of hundreds of others they 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, LGBTQIA+ people around the world are facing even more challenges. In 2020 alone, Rainbow Railroad has received 1,158 requests for assistance, and you can be sure that number will continue to grow as the year further unfolds.
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.
