Global Speak Out for Hungary: Resources page

On June 15, Hungary's parliament passed legislation similar to Russia's "gay propaganda” law. The law bans any material that could be seen by minors and that features gay characters or any sort of support for the LGBT+ community. 

After an outcry by the international community and the initiation of legal proceedings by the European Commission, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced a referendum to confirm the  anti-LGBT+ legislation, which came into effect on July 8th.  

On August 14th 2021, there will be Speak-Outs, small protests, in front of several Hungarian embassies and consulates around the world. 

Our Goal is to show solidarity with Hungarian LGBT+ people, to generate media attention and to demand that the  European Commission maintains the pressure on Hungary.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO HOST YOUR EVENT

1. Search online if there is a Hungarian Embassy or Consulate in your city, decide the time of your speak-out, and try to organize it close to the Hungarian Embassy or Consulate on August 14.

2. If there is no Hungarian Embassy or Consulate in your city, look for a good place to hold your event and decide on an exact time and place to meet – pick a place that’ll be easy for people to find. 

3. Research online if your local authority requires you to get a permit of any kind. 

4. [OPTIONAL] Set up a public Facebook event, add All Out as the co-host and email the link to [email protected]. If you need some help doing that, follow the instructions here.

5. Spread the word! Invite your followers, friends, and colleagues to join you on the 14th.

6.  [OPTIONAL] Spread the word even further! You can invite local politicians, journalists or activist groups to come along, and email the local newspaper to tell them about the event.
