Celebration for some. Fear for others.

Dear John,

In a season when many of us proudly assert our identities, countless members of our global LGBTIQ family cannot imagine such a reality.

In the Central Asian country of Tajikistan, a needs assessment conducted by one of Outright International’s partners — who asked not to be publicly named for security reasons — confirmed that most lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer women live in constant fear for their lives. In addition to the increased risk of violence, extreme discrimination can lead to homelessness, unemployment, and severe mental health issues.

As we know, Tajikistan is but one example of what is happening to our communities across the world.

Our global LGBTIQ family members living in danger
are asking for your help!

Please join our 2024 Pride Matching Gift Challenge ([link removed]) — and every dollar you give will be DOUBLED up to $25,000.

When you donate to Outright International, you help us respond to threats across the world, and support the local organizations we partner with, strengthening their ability to influence positive changes in local and regional laws, policies, attitudes, and beliefs that cause discrimination against LGBTIQ people.

This is why Outright exists. And this is why we need YOU! Because we have siblings, cousins, and extended family all across the globe forced to live in fear — many, risking their safety on the front lines of the fight for change. You can fuel the fight..and they can win it.

So please: Celebrate Pride 2024 in an especially meaningful way.

In solidarity,

Elise Colomer-Cheadle (she/her)
