Hi friends –
Wow! What an awesome month.
A few weeks ago, I asked for your help in telling my government here in Italy to withdraw their endorsement of the World Congress of Families (WCF).
The WCF is one of the world's most powerful anti-LGBT+ groups, based in the U.S. and dubbed a "hate group" by major human rights organizations. They were planning their annual conference in Italy and I couldn't believe to hear that my government was supporting it.
Over 143,000 All Out members signed our petition and it worked: the logo of the Italian government was removed from the WCF's website.
But the logos of regional governments were still there and increasing as the conference grew nearer... so we staged a flash-mob and took the signatures straight to the local government offices of Verona, where the conference was taking place.See photos of the delivery here.
Then, we asked All Out members to donate to help get a GIANT message of love out in Verona to counter the messages of hate – and you really pulled through!
Thanks to hundreds of All Out members, we were able to light up Verona with a massive projection, saying that love is what makes a family and that all families matter! Check out photos of the projection here.
Then, All Out members joined tens of thousands of people protesting the World Congress of Families, flooding Verona with love.
Together, our message couldn't be ignored and we made headlines across major national and international media outlets.
We wouldn't have pulled off such a great campaign without your help.
Thanks for going All Out,
Yuri Guaiana
Senior Campaigns Manager in Italy, All Out
