Evacuate gay Yemenis in danger
Donation protected
URGENT! Please consider a donation to save the lives of three brave Yemeni men in perilous danger due to Al Qaeda's violent and reprehensible targeting of the Yemeni gay community.
Last summer, I wrote an article on the gay community in Yemen, and have since found myself involved with the nascent gay rights movement there. Some of the people that I met through my article and I co-founded an organization called the Network for Gay Rights in Yemen (NGRY), and have been trying to create platforms for LGBTQIA+ Yemenis to connect and communicate with one another.
Through this effort, we learned of three men in their 20s and early 30s who have been identified by Al Qaeda as targets and whose lives are in immediate danger. We are trying to find them a safe house in a location where Al Qaeda is less influential, and then a plane out of the country and to a destination where they can find jobs and live out their lives in peace.
Our goal is to raise $5k as quickly as possible. Funds will be used to transfer the endangered men to a safe house and purchase tickets for flights out of Yemen. Any excess funds after these expenditures will be used to support the men as they set out on their new life in a safer environment.
Your 10, 25, 50, 100 dollar or larger donation will quite literally play a key role in saving the lives of these men and repudiating the hateful and oppressive actions of Al Qaeda. Please help.
