Six global LGBTQ organizations are calling upon President Joe Biden to protect, evacuate, and resettle vulnerable groups, including LGBTQ Afghans, left behind in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The coalition is made up of the Council for Global Equality; Human Rights Campaign; Immigration Equality; International Refugee Assistance Project; the Organization for Refuge, Asylum, and Migration; and Rainbow Railroad.
The organizations introduced the brief, 10-point plan, and letter to Biden in a September 6 joint news release. The call to action comes nearly three weeks after 64 members of Congress called upon Secretary of State Antony Blinken to protect LGBTQ Afghans.
