Help fight international anti-gay laws!

#ENDhatelaws is a new coalition of seasoned activists, journalists, educators, artists, lawyers and students in partnership with the Canadian HIV AIDS Legal Network and Ryerson University.

We are trying to build a national movement to fight the homophobia and transphobia that is creating fear for many LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) people across the globe.

LGBTI people are criminalized in more than 80 countries, some that call for the death penalty. We will not rest until the laws are repealed and human rights are respected.

#ENDhatelaws has lots of exciting plans for actions in the lead up to Toronto WorldPride in June. We want to get t-shirts and buttons made. There's also registration fees for the parade and human rights conference, and we need materials to make our banners, signs, business cards, flyers and other promotional materials.

That's where you come in. A small donation could make a big difference as we raise our voices to break the silence on international homophobia and transphobia.

We're all volunteers. We need your help. Join us to #ENDhatelaws.

We have an open letter to the Canadian government that outlines the urgent actions needed to prevent further human rights violations against LGBTI people living under regressive hate laws: http://www.aidslaw.ca/publications/publicationsdocEN.php?ref=1409

Please consider adding your name or organization to the letter. And thank you so much for contributing to this important campaign.
