100's of LGBT+ Afghans have pleaded with Dignity for All/@freedomhouse and @RainbowRailroad to let them into the Wajood Society safe house in Pakistan. @KimahliPowell & Co. has been blocking all of them on Twitter & WhatsApp and Dignity for All is sending boilerplate rejections.

Sara is a non-binary Afghan who was stabbed by the Taliban—needed 32 stitches and can’t properly move his leg. We helped him flee Afghanistan. We are paying for his medical care, food, lodging, and personal expenses. Help us pay for his MRI and resettle him to a western country.

@OutRightIntl@NeelaGhoshal@sjodinmaria@hrw@jlfeder@AmnestyUK@Outright And I plan to raise more money and transfer to LGBTQ+ people because you people don't want to be inconvenienced from taking in donations and cashing in on the misery of those in need. You only care about your salary and bottom line. I care about saving people.
