Help us survive under the attack!
Russian court is moving to label ComingOut an “extremist organization” for supporting LGBTQ+ people in Russia. Many things might change, but people will still need help: queer folks will still reach out for legal and psychological help, trusted information, and community.
What this process does change is the pressure around everyone connected to our work—and the resources it takes to keep people safer. We’re covering legal fees and representation, preparing for and attending hearings, strengthening security and emergency readiness, and, if necessary, relocating people directly under attack.
We can’t do this without you. Right now, we rely on supporters worldwide—people for whom it’s safe to stand with us. If you can, please choose a monthly donation: it helps us pay lawyers on time, keep therapists available, protect our team, and answer every message from someone asking for help.
