BREAKING: Chechnya's President just said he would wipe out the area's gay population in the next four weeks.

Activists fighting this brutal crackdown need more of our help, and fast.

The underground rescue network they’ve thrown together is no match for the roving government thugs who round up "suspected homosexuals" and drag them to black sites to be tortured -- and in some cases killed unless they reveal the names of their friends and lovers.

This is how we save lives: funding for safe houses, transportation, and legal representation, plus media coverage and campaigns against horrific laws. Every day, more people face being rounded up -- let's show them the world won’t stand by while they are wiped out, then back local activists wherever these attacks take place to win the basic right to love whoever they choose.
