ORAM

Together, our community raised over $90,000 to help keep ORAM strong.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who stepped up during this campaign. This one-month effort was an extraordinary show of support for LGBTIQ refugees and for ORAM’s future.

The Keep ORAM Strong campaign is not just a moment — it is part of a broader effort to protect the long-term sustainability of ORAM’s work.

As anti-LGBTIQ laws and hostility grow globally, violent conflicts and climate disasters intensify, and resettlement opportunities shrink, more LGBTIQ refugees and asylum seekers are turning to ORAM for support at a time when resources remain deeply constrained.

This campaign may be closing publicly, but the need has not gone away.

Thank you for standing with ORAM and with the LGBTIQ refugees we serve in Kenya, Mexico, Germany, and beyond.

We are fighting back.

Thanks to Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Sen. Jacky Rosen, Grace Meng, Rep. Lois Frankel, Congresswoman Diana DeGette, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Representative Sara Jacobs, and Gregory Meeks for introducing the Protecting Human Rights & Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act to block the dangerous expansion of .

The Trump administration’s expanded now applies to all non-military U.S. foreign aid, including humanitarian relief and development programs, the United Nations, U.S.-based organizations, and even other governments. This is an unprecedented and dangerous shift that weaponizes foreign aid as a part of this administration’s agenda of power and control, and it will put millions of lives at risk.

This new bill would and ensure U.S. foreign assistance reflects people’s needs, not ideological politics.
