Rainbow Railroad

Rainbow Railroad is an international human rights organization that creates pathways to safety for at-risk LGBTQI+ people and strengthens policies and systems that support their protection and integration. Since our founding in 2006, we have supported over 40,000 individuals and families, and have become a global leader in advancing LGBTQI+ rights. We are one of the few organizations that work as direct service providers, advocates, thought leaders, and movement strategists to address global queer forced displacement. Our mission is guided by a commitment to becoming a refugee-led organization that centres the experiences, leadership, and authority of LGBTQI+ refugees. 
 
Rainbow Railroad is a registered charity in Canada and a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization with offices in Toronto and New York.

Solidarity in Pride messaging: 

More people than ever before are reaching out to Rainbow Railroad for help. And yet, even in the face of escalating danger, solidarity endures. For every act of persecution, there is resistance. For every person forced to flee, there is a global community ready to help them access safety. 
 
Two decades ago, we were built by communities who refused to be silent. Today, we stand strong in the face of rising hostility. And in every moment ahead, we will continue to show up — unapologetic, unrelenting, and united. 
 
Our solidarity is not seasonal. It is steadfast and unwavering, especially in times of political hostility. As LGBTQI+ rights face renewed attacks globally, solidarity must be constant. 
 
Pride is a moment. Solidarity is a movement.
