#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #USA #allout #News #Journal #Update - The Equality Champion 🌈🏆🤩

 Hi  –

I hope you had a great start to the New Year!

Here at All Out, we made some ambitious New Year's resolutions.

But first, a quick look back. In 2021, our movement organized:

• 11 global and regional crowdfunders to finance LGBT+ projects in Afghanistan, Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, East Timor, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Poland, Rwanda, and Uganda.
• 26 large-scale national and international pressure campaigns for LGBT+ rights in Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Colombia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Rwanda, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda, and the U.S.
• 26 emergency grants to LGBT+ people in need in Armenia, Benin, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Colombia, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Russia, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Uganda.
• A global LGBT+ Photo Award.
• Support for more than 45 petitions in 20 countries that were started by All Out members.
• A mental health project to provide LGBT+ people with free psychological support in Brazil.
• Support for the first Pride in Rwanda.
• A partnership with MTV to use their platform to generate international solidarity for Hungarian LGBT+ people.
• And so much more...

In 2022 – we want to double that impact! 🙌

You read that right. We are witnessing a terrifying backlash against LGBT+ rights around the world, and we need to do more to fight back! Can you help?

please become an Equality Champion today by starting a monthly donation to power this movement of love and equality!

With a team of only 20 people located across four continents, we manage to do all this because we always work side by side with activists on the ground – and because of YOU! 🤩

The donations of thousands of All Out members, like you, make all this possible.

That's why our monthly supporters, Equality Champions, are absolutely essential to the fight for equality.

• With just $5 a month, you can help an activist get their voice heard by thousands of people on social media.
• With $10 a month, you will make sure that we can keep coming up with innovative actions, such as guerilla projections, billboards, or speak-outs to fight back against hateful politicians.
• With $20 a month, you can help us jump into action with an international campaign launch when LGBT+ communities need urgent emergency support.

Our LGBT+ partners around the world know that they can count on this kind of support as long as they have you on their side.

Become an Equality Champion today and help us fight for love and equality EVERYWHERE!

Thanks for going All Out,

P.S. If you become an Equality Champion with a $20 monthly donation, we will give you this beautiful mini coffee table book featuring photographs from the All Out 2021 LGBT+ Photo Award, celebrating the Resistance, Healing, and Support of LGBT+ people around the world.
