Do I know anyone (who knows anyone) who writes for a big press outlet on LBGTQIA human rights issues, especially worldwide? I'm trying to draw attention to the plight of a group of people in South Sudan who are facing grave danger and additional barriers to aid because of their identity.

Folks we are SO close to meeting this short goal to evacuate several families in Gaza - please donate if you can! ⬇️
And now 25 hours left. I’m confident in us. You’ve helped these families for over a year. So we’re going to show up for them again with all the hope we can and cannot muster.
Evacuation for EIGHT families. Let’s do it early! This is just half! 3681/4000
