Imagine being thrown in jail, just for who you love. Or being tortured because people think you have a disease that needs "curing." Every day, this is happening to LGBT people all over the world.
The good news is that together, we can stop it.
All Out is a global movement fighting for a world where NO ONE has to sacrifice their family, freedom, safety, or dignity because of who they are or who they love.
How do we do it?
We mobilise thousands of people around the world to stand up for LGBT rights.
When a moment of crisis or opportunity comes up – like an anti-gay law going to a vote or a crackdown on a Pride march – All Out works closely with partners to come up with inspiring ways for our members to take action.
From signing a petition to joining a protest, from sharing on social media to making a donation, All Out members turn solidarity into action every single day.

The kinds of campaigns we run
All Out runs two types of campaigns:
Global pressure
Most of our campaigns start as online petitions directed at decision makers. We combine online petitions with several other tactics – media work, offline actions, etc. We raise the voices of local LGBT activists and get thousands of us to back them up.
Grassroots Giving
Grassroots Giving is a groundbreaking fundraising program connecting All Out's large global audience to LGBT groups. Through this program, thousands of All Out members make small donations online to collectively fund the work of local groups around the world fighting to end inequality, discrimination, and injustices against LGBT people.
