Dear friends –
Dozens of bigoted, extremist anti-LGBT+ organizations in the U.S. and Europe are right now working hard to deny people the right to be who they are and love who they love. And they're exporting that hate to influence countries and leaders abroad.
Just a few weeks ago, the President of Burundi said that gay people should be publicly stoned. This is after Uganda passed one of the world's harshest anti-LGBT+ laws last year. Ghana, Kenya, South Sudan, and Tanzania are considering similar laws.
We now have proof that American far-right groups spend millions to export their hate to countries across Africa. I've spoken to activists on the ground in these countries and they're afraid, but they aren't backing down. They are ready to fight... and we're ready to join them.
That's why All Out is announcing today a HUGE campaign called Exporting Hate – Exposing Global Anti-LGBT+ Funding. With enough support, this year-long campaign will drag these far-right groups into the light, coordinate efforts to shut down their work, and weaken their dangerous agenda.
One of the most effective ways to support this work is to become an Equality Champion. Equality Champions are people just like you, from all around the world, who commit to making a monthly donation to support All Out.
We are aware of far-right hate groups in the U.S. who are coordinating with lawmakers across the world through policy forums, Whatsapp groups, prayer events, legal advice, and funding. A lot of funding. According to a recent study, global anti-LGBT+ forces have received $280 million in funding over 10 years.
All Out doesn't get our funding from secretive billionaires with hateful agendas. Instead, we're powered by donations from regular people just like you who care about equality and freedom and who want to put solidarity into practice.
We are in the fight for the long term and I hope you are too.
| YES! I’M IN |
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt BeardExecutive Director(he/him)
P.S. Commit to giving $5 a month or more, and we'll send you this new All Out hoodie as our gift to you!
