Our team at Immigration Equality is working tirelessly to move as many refugees as possible to safety before the transition of government — but we can’t do it without your support. The truth is, with the escalating anti-immigrant and hateful rhetoric we’ve seen in the past year,?we know that the doors to resettlement will soon be closed under Trump’s second term. We’re racing against time. Right now, we have the opportunity to help resettle refugees who are fleeing violence and persecution in places where being LGBTQ is not just dangerous, but life-threatening. Today, we have 20 clients in the refugee pipeline from Afghanistan, Egypt, El Salvador, Iran, Iraq, Guinea, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, and Uganda. They are terrified, uncertain about what’s to come, and they need us. We must act quicky! With your help, we can move up to 20 LGBTQ refugees to safety before January 20.?

The nation's leading LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrant rights organization.
关于我们
Immigration Equality is a national organization that works to end discrimination in U.S. immigration law, to reduce the negative impact of that law on the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV-positive people, and to help obtain asylum for those persecuted in their home country based on their sexual orientation, transgender identity or HIV-status. Through education, outreach, advocacy, and the maintenance of a nationwide network of resources, we provide information and support to advocates, attorneys, politicians and those who are threatened by persecution or the discriminatory impact of the law.
