We must show our support!
Since the stabbing attacks on six people marching in Jerusalem Pride, we’ve been working closely with our colleagues at the Jerusalem Open House, who are organizing a rally to protest this act of terror and we’re committed to helping them.
Extra security at the rally is vital to protect the community from copycat attackers and others who seek to silence our community’s need to spotlight this hate crime. Funds will also support the victims and their families.
JQ International immediately made a $1,800 allocation to the Jerusalem Open House to aid them in their urgent needs. We ask for your support to underwrite this emergency allocation and are seeking to raise much more to support them in their time of need.
Please help by making a donation to support the Jerusalem Open House Rally Fund.
At this time more than ever, it is vital that our global LGBTQ and ally Jewish community shows its solidarity with our LGBTQ & ally brothers and sisters in Jerusalem. With a teenage victim in critical condition in a Jerusalem hospital and several others in serious condition, the pain and anguish is still raw in Israel’s LGBTQ community.
