A Canadian human rights organization that assists LGBT people in escaping places where they face persecution is launching a campaign to help gay men get out of Chechnya, the semiautonomous Russian republic where at least 100 gay men have been arrested and detained recently… and you can help.
Trump will not act. Russia will not act. Only *WE* will act to stop this atrocity.

“An important part of our emergency response plan is to support the Russian LGBT Network in their rescue campaign,” Powell said. “This includes fundraising to support the organization while allocating resources to increase the number of people we can support in the region. In addition, we are formally requesting the Canadian government provide direct assistance to those in need by way of emergency visas.”
Of course Trump has said nothing publicly.
The State Department issued a report against the reports but there is *no* indication that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson brought it up when he met with Putin in Russia.
That’s why it is up to *US* to act.
