New UK Government abandons anti-LGBT+ and anti-refugee Rwanda plan

Victory! The new Labour government of the UK has officially abandoned the proposed anti-LGBT and anti-refugee plan to send refugees and asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Thanks to the collective action of over 7,000 All Out supporters around the world, the petition to stop this harmful plan was successful.

Sending vulnerable refugees 4,000 miles away to a place without a supportive network, proper legal protections, or even basic safety guarantees was not just irresponsible – it was dangerous.

This victory means a brighter and safer future for LGBT+ refugees seeking asylum in the UK. It also demonstrates the power of united voices and persistent advocacy. Thank you for standing with LGBT+ refugees through each and every signature. Together, we are making a difference.
