Dear John,

Everyone has the right to feel included, accepted, supported, and safe.

But sadly, that isn't a reality for many LGBTIQ activists and communities around the world who face unimaginable challenges daily, from oppression to violence to displacement and worse.

That's why I’m reaching out to you today, as we launch the 2024 Give OUT Day Campaign – the only giving event for the LGBTIQ community.

The Give OUT Day Campaign – which starts today and culminates on Thursday, May 30 – is an important opportunity to join in solidarity with diverse LGBTIQ communities worldwide and to support Outright International’s powerful efforts with them and on their behalf.

Your contribution today will provide crucial funding, training, support, and targeted programs to strengthen local leadership, advocacy, infrastructure, and more. The tools your gift makes possible will further help our global LGBTIQ communities safely combat oppression, become more visible, and assert their humanity and dignity to achieve lasting positive change.

Today, help kick-off this year’s Give OUT Day Campaign by making a resounding statement that echoes across borders and barriers. Let's boldly declare that love triumphs over hate and that every single person deserves not just to survive but to thrive.

Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your belief in a brighter, more inclusive future.

In solidarity,


Maria Sjödin (they/she)
Executive Director
