We are writing to you as part of the LGBTQIA+ refugee community living inside Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan. We are reaching out to the global queer family and allies because one of our own is in critical danger, and we have no way to save her on our own. The person you see is our transgender sister who fled to this camp seeking safety, only to face a new fight for her survival.  

Living in Gorom Camp is an everyday battle, especially for transgender and queer refugees. On top of the harsh, crowded conditions, we face severe discrimination, daily homophobic attacks, and constant threats to our safety. Recent massive international aid cuts have made a terrible situation catastrophic. Food rations have dropped, and the camp’s tiny medical clinic already stripped of basic supplies cannot handle complex emergencies. As LGBTQIA refugees, we are blocked from working and have no source of income. We cannot rely on local systems or help ourselves financially, we are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid and outside donations to survive.  

Our sister fell severely ill with a dangerous combination of typhoid and malaria. Because of the aid shortages, the camp clinic lacked the medication and equipment to treat her. As her body began to fail, she had to be evacuated to a larger hospital outside the camp for emergency stabilization. While she is currently on an IV and vital monitors, we have a massive hospital bill that we have absolutely no way to pay.  

This Pride Month, we are calling on the global LGBTQIA+ community to stand with us in real solidarity. We urgently need to raise funds to clear her medical bill and secure her ongoing treatment. No amount is too small, and every single euro goes directly toward keeping our sister alive.
Beyond financial help, we are desperately asking for your advocacy. Please use your voice to speak up about the forgotten queer refugees in Gorom Camp. Share our stories, pressure international human rights organizations, and help us advocate for emergency relocation and resettlement to safer countries where we can live without fear of violence and starvation.

Let's read and review this pro-cop children's book together......

Part 1: we read it and react. 🤮 so many american flags

Part 2: we rewrite it so it actually gives children good advice on how to deal with police 😈 how about we learn self defense and good judgement instead of calling the cops??

Let me know your thoughts in the comments! How would you teach your children about the police? What anarchist, pro-liberation, anti-racist resources do you know about that are age appropriate for children????

Share the video with any squishy liberals who still support the police. Like and subscribe for more cozy anarchist content from your host, Xylo. ❤️‍🔥

Hi everyone,
First, we want to share a moment of profound gratitude with this incredible community. Thanks to the overwhelming kindness and solidarity of people who saw our previous post, we managed to get this brave little boy to a clinic. His injury has received initial medical attention, and he is now on the fragile road to recovery. Seeing him begin to heal has given his mother and our entire LGBTQIA+ refugee community in the camp a glimmer of hope during an incredibly dark time. However, while his hand is being treated, the danger that caused its fracture has not gone away.

Our Next Step Now is Fighting for His Long-Term Safety
As we shared before, life for LGBTQIA+ refugees in South Sudan is a constant battle against severe hostility. The homophobic neighbors who attacked him still lives nearby, and the threat of further violence remains incredibly high. The reality is heartbreaking, right now, this innocent boy cannot step outside to play freely with his fellow children without facing the risk of being targeted, harassed, or physically harmed simply because of who his mother loves.

We cannot change the entire environment of the camp overnight, but we can change his world and guarantee his safety. We are launching a new appeal to build a secure shelter with a protective fence for this family. This will create a private, safe space where he can run around, play, and just be a child without fear of being attacked, let’s stand together this pride month and change his life to a better one.

How You Can Help.
We are asking for your continued solidarity to help us secure the materials and labor needed to construct this small sanctuary. Our goal is to completely transform his daily life from one of constant fear to one of safety.
 Donate here⬇️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Funds will go directly toward purchasing basic building materials (like timber, iron sheets, and secure fencing wire) and paying local workers to construct the shelter quickly. Please share this update to create awareness of the reality LGBTQIA+ are facing in the camp.

Your support is urgently needed at this moment. Let’s show this family that love can build a wall against hatred. Thank you all so much for standing with us. Happy pride month.. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Hi comrades,
We are writing to you today with shattered hearts from Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan. Today was supposed to be a day where we quietly held onto the spirit of Pride Month a time to remember our resilience and humanity. Instead, it has become a day of tragedy for our community.

Earlier today, the young son of one of our community members, a lesbian mother, was brutally attacked by a homophobic neighbor. The neighbor has frequently targeted her, screaming that children of lesbians are "satanic" and banning them from playing with other kids. Today, that hatred turned into physical violence. The neighbor attacked the boy, leaving him with a broken bone.

The Reality in Gorom Camp
For LGBTQIA+ refugees in South Sudan, and specifically here in Gorom camp, daily life is a battle for survival. South Sudan criminalizes same-sex acts, which means we have zero legal protection. Inside the camp, the stigma is suffocating. We face constant harassment, threats, and physical insecurity. We are forced to live in the shadows, and when violence like this happens, turning to local authorities for protection is rarely a safe option.

Right now, this innocent boy is in severe pain, and his mother is devastated. The immediate priority is getting his bone properly reset and treated, but as refugees, we have no money for emergency medical bills. The cost of hospital treatment, x-rays, and medication is entirely beyond what we can afford.

How You Can Help This Pride Month
Pride started as a riot for survival, and right now, survival is exactly what we are fighting for. We are urgently appealing to the LGBTQIA+ community for mutual aid to cover this child's emergency medical expenses.

Any amount, no matter how small, goes directly to his medical bills so we can get his bone treated successfully. If you cannot donate, please share this post to raise more awareness about the situation for LGBTQIA+ refugees in South Sudan.

Please help us show this little boy and his mother that they are not defined by the hatred of their neighbors, and that there is a global community that cares about their lives.
Thank you for standing with us today.
