Dear friends,
There's a lot to #FightBack for in 2018.
Here at All Out, we just launched an international search for missing pop star Zelim Bakaev. The 26-year-old singer went missing in Chechnya 5 months ago. It's widely believed that he was captured as part of Chechnya's "anti-gay purge."
We're determined to keep up the fight with our partners in Russia until Zelim is found. But our work won't end there. The abduction, abuse, and torture of gay and bisexual men is still happening in Chechnya right now. Zelim is not alone.
We're committed to fighting back until Chechnya's "anti-gay purge" is stopped and justice is served. It's an ambitious plan. We've done the math and we need 288 more people to become Equality Champions so we can keep up the fight all year long.
Start your monthly donation and we'll send you this free hoodie, our gift to you.
By wearing this hoodie, you can proudly let the world know that you won't sit idly by while anti-LGBT hate and violence continue to destroy LGBT communities around the world.
We aren't giving up. We'll keep up the fight for Zelim until he is found. We'll keep working with partners to get the international spotlight back on Chechnya. We won't let the world forget that LGBT lives are still under attack!
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt Beard
Executive Director
