Fwd: Your Support Moves Mountains

Your support will change lives

Donate to support LGBTIQ equality

Hi John,

As we edge closer and closer to 2021 – yay – I just wanted to make sure that you didn't miss our latest email, highlighting our COVID-19 Emergency Fund, and how it's helped LGBTIQ people around the world.

Because our global community too often falls through the cracks, it's up to us to stand in solidarity with one another and pick up the pieces.

Your support alone has allowed us to give crucial aid to people that need it most. But our work is not done.

Can we count on your gift today?

Our community needs us, and below you will see that when we work together we can move mountains.

Subject: Your Support Moves Mountains – Dec 18, 2020

This has been a hard year for so many people around the world. What started as an exciting year of celebrations of OutRight’s 30th anniversary quickly turned into a year of tremendous challenge as we witnessed extreme suffering in our global community.

I’m very proud that OutRight could step up and launch the largest global Covid LGBTIQ Emergency Fund.   And I’m grateful to say, that because of the incredible support of corporations, foundations, and individuals like you, we have given out $1 million US dollars to date, to 125 organizations in 64 countries reaching over 50,000 people!  

Donate to support LGBTIQ equality

This is what one of our grantees in Pakistan had to say after they helped 100 people:

“This is the first experience that we as transgender men have ever had of being considered for any grant. And with respect. For the first time, we feel like we are part of this society. Our prayers and wishes are with your team and donors who were concerned about our need in this pandemic period. Thank you so much to you all.”

 I think many of us feel we want to leave 2020 behind but as we look to 2021, we have a lot to do. With almost 70 countries that still criminalize same-sex relations and persecution of trans communities in many more, we have to keep fighting. We will only be successful with the support of people like you who value solidarity and think beyond national borders.

If you can, will you help support OutRight with a gift today?  Thanks to a generous donor the first $25,000 from now, and until December 31st, will be matched!

The resilience and solidarity we saw in our movement in 2020 will be just as important in the coming year.

When we come together we move mountains.

With warmth and gratitude, and best wishes for the New Year!
