WORLD WORLDWIDE BRAZIL ALL OUT LGBTQ+ Homosexualité GAY News Journal Update - The violence has to end! ❤️‍🩹

 Dear Friends –

The last few months here in Brazil have been brutal.

In December, Carol Campelo, a 21-year-old lesbian, was brutally murdered in Maranhãozinho, a town in the Northeast of Brazil. Then Mayla Rafaela Martins, a 23-year-old trans woman, was murdered in Lucas do Rio Verde in January.

While this violence is horrific and heartbreaking, what gives me hope are the people all around the world who are willing to take a stand to try and stop it. All Out brings these people together – people who are taking on the challenge of ending this plague of violence wherever it occurs.

Your support means that All Out can do more of this work: breaking stigmas and stereotypes by sharing stories of queer love and family, celebrating LGBT+ Pride in new places around the world, campaigning for hate crime protection laws, demanding justice for LGBT+ people wrongfully arrested and imprisoned, and training LGBT+ activists to mobilize their own communities.

As we mourn those we have lost, in their honor we continue to fight.

By becoming a monthly donor, you can help save LGBT+ lives.

Will you act now?

Ending anti-LGBT+ violence won't happen overnight – we understand the size of the challenge ahead. The good news is, you can help. In fact, your help is utterly essential.

A monthly donation of any size will help us create a safer, more equal world, where no one is attacked because of who they are or who they love.

How do we do it? Over the years, All Out has developed a vast network of LGBT+ activists around the world who reach out when an emergency strikes. We then connect them to the All Out movement (people like you!), who mobilize to lift up their fight, apply global pressure, sign petitions, make urgent donations, or whatever else might be needed.

Equality Champions are the backbone of everything we do. The more support we can rely on month to month, the quicker we can act when emergency strikes.

You understand how important it is to protect people from discrimination and injustice – you've taken action with us before to that end. Luc, sign up today to become an Equality Champion if you believe this violence must stop!

YES! I'M IN

Thanks for going All Out,
