Every LGBTQI+ person deserves freedom and safety.
Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety worldwide. On March 7th, we are teaming up with TAGG Magazine to host an event to build Queer Communities of Care in support of LGBTQI+ newcomers in the DMV, refreshments will be served.
Join us at A League Of Her Own to hear from members of our team and connect with community members interested in forming Communities of Care.
Communities of Care:
There are many places around the world where coming out isn’t safe for LGBTQI+ people. Places where living authentically is difficult and dangerous due to state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. Rainbow Railroad is the first queer organization partnering with Welcome Corps to bring at-risk LGBTQI+ refugees to the U.S. through its Communities of Care program. Communities of Care provide critical support to queer and trans refugees fleeing persecution and empower them with resources as they build a new life with dignity during their first 90 days in the United States. A volunteer’s contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a monumental difference in a newcomer’s life.
