🏳️‍⚧️ Resilience is key

This Trans Awareness Week, we stand in solidarity with transgender people and transgender refugees worldwide. Transgender refugees face unique challenges, escaping life-threatening persecution only to encounter more barriers in their journey to safety. We would continue to stand in solidarity with them and support their voice, no matter what.

We also honor the fearless transgender activists who fight not just for their own safety and freedom, but for the freedom and rights of others. Their resilience and courage inspire us all, be it Ukrainian trans soldiers, Palestinian, Sakartvelo and American trans people and many others that fight.

We are here to keep fighting for Trans Rights.

🎂 2 years of help, dignity and advocacy

We can't believe that it's been 2 years since we opened doors in 2022, but this journey has been hard, yet inspiring for us at FUR/HELP.

Since 2022, we have been through challenges, changed adversity into meaningful support for LGBTQIA+ refugees and trans individuals in the US.

Our 2024 milestone represents more than an organizational benchmark — it symbolizes collective resilience, unwavering commitment, and hope.

Thank you for your unwavering support! 💜

https://archive.org/donate/

Also consider supporting Wayback Machine, other archival services like archive.today, support Mastodon instances and any ActivityPub instances that you use. We would need all of them to preserve our memory and freedom, not only do they help uncover war crimes, but also preserve history.

Today is the Day of the Heavenly Hundred, the tragic events of 20 February 2014 shouldn't be forgotten, as they were killed for protesting for democracy in Ukraine.

We will forever remember each life lost, including Ivan Tarasyuk, Serhii Kemskyi, and others, collectively known as the Heavenly Hundred.

⚠️ OUR STATEMENT REGARDING THE U.S. SAFE COUNTRY STATUS

In light of the alarming rise in state-backed persecution of queer and trans in the United States, we join with other nonprofits to request that the EU and Canada reconsider the classification of the U.S. as a "safe country." Recent fallback in protections and policies for the rights and freedoms of LGBTQIA people have created a perfect environment of fear and discrimination, undermining the very principles of human rights and dignity.

Free Zhanar Sekerbayeva and Aktorgyn Akkenzhebalasy 🇰🇿🏳️‍🌈

FUR/HELP condemns repression and persecution of LGBTQIA+ people in Kazakhstan.
We join other nonprofits in calling for immediate action to protect human rights.

Zhanar Sekerbayeva and Aktorgyn Akkenzhebalasy from the queer feminist Feminita initiative protecting queer women rights were sentenced via arbitrary to 10 days in detention for a peaceful protest.

We join in full solidarity with Kazakhstani LGBTQIA+ and civil society activists and believe that the government must respect international human rights and stop repression without any delay.

Women solidarity includes ALL women.

This year's International Women's & Women Solidarity Day is as important as a day like this can be, coming at a time when basic human rights are under attack around the world.

We see numerous efforts by far-right political movements to undermine women, portraying them as weak and simplistic. We also witness trans women being marginalized and silenced, despite being just as valid and real as any other women. Yet, we often overlook a common thread that unites both women and the LGBTQIA community: the fight for gender equality and rights.

The far-right seeks to divide us and to make us think we have nothing in common, but they are dead wrong, always were and always will be. March 8th will always be a reminder that the battle isn't over yet, and that we must stay united, as we share the same goal.

Racism has no space in our societies, anywhere.

No individual should face barriers in employment, housing, access to essential rights or opportunities based on their racial or ethnic background, or for any other unjust reason.

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination as well as every day, FUR/HELP firmly stands against racism as well as every other discrimination.

Our Statement On Hungary's Pride Ban

We, at FUR/HELP, have seen multiple attempts of the Hungarian government to demonize and discriminate against the LGBTQIA community. Ranging from likening LGBTQIA to pedophilia and never really ending in its volume and absurdity of attacks against us. This time, they have decided to ban Pride, because they want to take away our voice.

Full statement is on our OpenCollective: https://opencollective.com/furhelp/updates/our-statement-regarding-the-hungarys-pride-ban

🏳️‍⚧️ We see you

Today's Trans Visibility Day is a crucial for the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole, especially during a time when we are facing division from both outside and within. We confirm our commitment to promote unconditional love, acceptance, and support for transgender people - every step of their journey, no matter what that is for them. Each transition is valid.

With many of our team members being part of the trans community, we're dedicated to creating spaces that are truly inclusive and welcoming to all trans individuals. Supporting trans rights isn't just something we do on the side - it's a core part of who we are and what we're working towards.

To many transgender people that support us, we want to thank you. Without you, there would have been no FUR/HELP.

There are no human rights without trans rights.

Embrace the Ace

🖤 Today is Asexuality Day, a day for aces (that's what asexuals often call themselves) to chat about what it means to be ace, bust myths, and most importantly, share their personal experiences.

🩶 Asexuality is just as legit as any other sexuality, and it's different for everyone. Some asexual people might feel romantic attraction or some sexual attraction, while others don't. Like any personal preference or boundary, it deserves respect, not scrutiny.

🤍 Just like any other sexuality, it is not a "phase" and not "fake".

💜 At FUR/HELP, we stand strong in support for all aces, to uplift and celebrate aces across the world.

While trans and gender diverse people suffer from discrimination and hate speech worldwide, as the American trans people suffer persecution, the UK government decides to also hurt its trans people, clearly inspired by the US.

The decision by the UK Supreme Court to exclude trans women from legal protections under equality laws is absolutely abhorrent, none of this is justified and aims to break LGBTQIA community and solidarity, yet would never succeed. FUR/HELP joins in solidarity with British trans and gender diverse people, as we can't be silent. We see you, we hear you, and we fight alongside you.

Everyone deserve a right for a life without discrimination no matter where they come from.
