Dear Friend,
SHINE 2025 is just TWO WEEKS AWAY! Join us Thursday, October 16th, 7:00 - 10:30pm at City Winery in NYC for an evening of cocktails, incredible food, music, and entertainment as we celebrate resilience and raise critical funds during one of the most challenging moments our communities have faced.
We're thrilled to announce our incredible lineup: Emcee Dominique Jackson — model, actress, and author best known for her iconic role as Elektra in POSE — with performances by Javier Muñoz — Broadway star who took over the role of Alexander Hamilton from Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton and passionate LGBTQ+ advocate — and Thorgy Thor — RuPaul's Drag Race fan favorite, drag performance artist, and professional musician.
LGBTQ asylum seekers are facing unprecedented danger. We're representing over 500 clients with a 99% success rate, defending lives every day as demand surges. For our clients, we are the difference between protection and deadly persecution. Your presence powers this work.
Stand with us in joy, resilience, and solidarity—join us at SHINE 2025.
Can't make it? You can still support this life-saving work. Donate here.
With Gratitude,
Immigration Equality
