OutRight Action International has been fighting for LGBTIQ human rights around the world for 30 years. In the wake of COVID-19, OutRight launched a Global LGBTIQ Emergency Fund to support grassroots LGBTIQ organizations on the frontlines of providing emergency assistance to queer and trans people experiencing loss of income and food, lack of access to HIV medication and healthcare, increased domestic violence, and even scapegoating by religious and government leaders. As the pandemic spreads, those already vulnerable are more likely to fall into crisis, and LGBTIQ people often are not reached by government or traditional relief response efforts. In addition, many grassroots LGBTIQ organizations are on the brink of survival - threatening to set our movement for equality back by years. To date, OutRight's Emergency Fund has raised approximately $950,000 from 200+ companies, foundations and individuals and has issued 60 grants in 45 countries - but we received more than 1,500 requests totaling $12M in need and are still raising funds to ensure that LGBTIQ communities are not left behind in this crisis.  Help us reach our $1 million goal on Give OUT Day!
