#EyesOnChechnya - Need Worldwide Organizers!
Gay men and trans women are being kidnapped, abused, tortured, and murdered in what is being called modern day "concentration camps" in the Russian republic of Chechnya. We're looking for organizers around the world to plan protests worldwide on Saturday, July 1st.
Why is this important?
I remember learning about the Holocaust in school and thinking to myself: if I was alive then, I would have done something. This issue in Chechnya doesn't affect us here in the United States, however, with our "President" allegedly in collusion with Russia, and this situation unfolding in their republic, it's quite concerning. Twenty-six people have died for being who they are and for who they love. That's unacceptable! And it's being ignored. Our own "President" hasn't spoken out. He doesn't care. Our own State Department has denied Visas to those trying to escape the persecution in Chechnya. Help us fight! Please email me so we can help you organize protests in your cities and countries! Let's all stand together on July 1st to say that our EYES ARE ON CHECHNYA! [email protected] Find our group on Facebook: Safe Passage Alliance (Based in Los Angeles, CA USA)
