Trade union and LGBT liberation activists came together on Sunday 8 December to launch the Rainbow International LGBT Activist Solidarity Fund.
It is a new initiative which will provide critical financial assistance to frontline LGBT rights activists — principally in the countries where being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender is still illegal — so as to empower individuals and groups to campaign for LGBT rights, sexual liberation, equality, justice, democratic change, and working-class unity.
A fundraising target of £10,000 in the first six months was announced at the launch. Applications for financial assistance will be processed after 8 June 2014.
