It’s hard to think in some countries, the government or police condones or actively encourages violence against you because you are LGBTQI. But everyday, LGBTQI peoples are in hiding from authorities, jailed, or worse.
Rainbow Railroad exists to help people get out of danger to somewhere safe. The mission of Rainbow Railroad is to help LGBTQI people as they seek safe haven from state-enabled violence, murder or persecution. In 2017 alone, Rainbow Railroad helped provide a pathway to safety for 57 Chechens and a total of 206 individuals.
Proceeds from the two Drag in the Halls shows will go to Rainbow Railroad to help more people throughout the world.
