Less than the cost of lunch

Dear friends –
The arrests of gay men have started again in Chechnya.
We're committed to the long-haul. Working side-by-side with our brave Russian partners on the ground, we won't rest until the persecution of gay men in Chechnya has stopped for good.
So far, we've delivered millions of petitions, funded an emergency evacuation, and even faced arrest in the fight for justice.
But this work won't go on without long-term support from people like you, Luc. It doesn't take much: For just €5 a month – less than what you could spend on lunch today – you can make a lasting impact.
All Out was the first to jump into action with activists on the ground when the arrests started and I promise you that with enough support, we'll be the last, rallying a global outcry until justice is served.
In solidarity,
Matt

Luc –
In early April, I received a terrifying message from our partners in Russia: more than 100 men had been arrested in Chechnya, accused of being gay. They were being held in an illegal prison and tortured. At least five of those men have been murdered.
And just a few days ago, we received more alarming news: the arrests have resumed.
All Out was the first group to mobilise with partners on the ground in Russia and we're determined to keep fighting until there is justice for those persecuted and the arrests have stopped, permanently.
But there's simply no way we can continue to jump into action this quickly without recruiting people like you to join the ranks of our most dedicated supporters: Equality Champions.
You can join this army of love, powering our biggest fights year-round, by becoming an Equality Champion with a small, monthly gift.
Become an Equality Champion
Without Equality Champions, it would be impossible to accomplish a fraction of the work we're able to do.
With the support of Equality Champions, we coordinated the collection of over 2 million signatures demanding justice for the Chechen men who were captured and tortured.
And we were able to rally over 10,000 All Out members to fund our partner's emergency evacuation efforts, covering travel, safe housing, and medical costs for survivors of the persecution and those still at risk of arrest in Chechnya.
This type of work literally saves lives. But none of it would be possible without the ongoing support of Equality Champions.
