We help LGBTQI+ individuals get to safety from persecution and violence

Story

One of my 2020 goals is to cycle a 100 mile century. Luckily for me this lockdown has led to plenty of time on my bike and not much else to do! I've decided to turn this into a fundraiser to make the century ride about something more than myself. 

Rainbow Railroad helps rescue LGBT people from persecution and violence. Rainbow Railroad believes that governments around the globe should enact and enforce laws and policies that protect LGBTQI individuals and enable them to live in freedom and safety in their own country. However, until that day arrives, our organization is focused on providing solutions for LGBTQI people who need immediate assistance because they are facing a serious threat to their lives and safety.  Individuals in unsafe situations receive assistance in relocating to another country, finding work and sorting out visas. 

We should all be able to live freely as our individual selves. Please help me in supporting this amazing cause and at the end of September I'll be sure to share my century cycling experience with you all 😊

About the charity

As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals can access lives free from persecution, and ultimately, we envision a world where LGBTQI+ people can live lives of their choosing, free from persecution.
