Hi Friend,
Yesterday, I shared my story of facing a life of persecution in Saudi Arabia for being queer and nonbinary. I’m so grateful to Immigration Equality for securing me safe haven in the U.S.
I was just one of hundreds of queer, trans, and HIV-positive asylum seekers they set up with free legal representation. Immigration Equality helps over 650 asylum seekers per year, and over 20% of them are living with HIV.
On World AIDS Day, please make a contribution—no matter how big or small—to support this life-saving work. A generous donor will match all gifts 100% up to $30,000!
PLUS, if you make a gift of $75 or greater in the month of December, Immigration Equality will send you a FREE Immigration Equality face mask!
In many countries, people living with HIV are highly stigmatized, making them targets for persecution. Most of our clients living with HIV are LGBTQ or assumed to be LGBTQ, exposing them to violence and abuse based on their perceived gender identity and sexual orientation.
On World AIDS Day, I urge you to support people living with HIV who escaped persecution in search of safe haven in the U.S. By making a gift to Immigration Equality, you make it possible for HIV-positive people to win asylum.
This week, I’ve already raised $5,500 out of our $6,500 Giving Tuesday goal. That's $1,000 away from our goal!
Will you make a life-saving donation so I can reach my target? Remember that your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor!
Your support for Immigration Equality allows people who are LGBTQ or living with HIV to come out of the shadows, wear clothes that express who we are, and love who we want to love. I honestly wouldn’t be here today without them.
Sincerely,
Jude |
