Wendy Stuart will be attending live in person “Road To Freedom,” A Writer’s Benefit for Rainbow Railroad on Thursday, January 12th, 2023 at 1Penn, 1 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY.
Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps LGBTQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before LBGTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.
Rainbow Railroad – “ We help LGBTQI+ people escape state sponsored violence. In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety.”
Wendy Stuart hosts TriVersity Talk! which is a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community. With TriVersity Talk!, the goal is to laugh and learn.
TriVersity Talk! Is part of TriVersity’s ICARE Initiative. ICARE stands for Increasing Community Awareness through Relevant Education. ICARE Programs are generously funded by The Greater Pike Community Foundation.
Richard Morais, the host of the “Road To Freedom” Event and Karen Haycox who is the head of Habitat for Humanity in NYC and a Rainbow Railroad board member have both been guests on TriVersity Talk! After interviewing both of them, Wendy Stuart is excited to meet them in person and spread the word about Rainbow Railroad.
“I recently became aware about the work Rainbow Railroad is doing all over the world helping LGBTQIA+ people escape oppression and violence. This Thursday, January 12th will be the “Road To Freedom” a writers benefit for Rainbow Railroad in NYC at 1 Penn Plaza, featuring well known writers, telling their own stories. It will be an impactful evening of raising awareness and through storytelling.” – Wendy Stuart
