In desperation of the upcoming executive order, I attempted to contact the rainbow railroad for assistance leaving the U.S. Unfortunately it looks like they can't save us. . .
This is what they told me in response:
Rainbow Railroad's mission is to help LGBTQI+ individuals facing persecution find safety. While we wish we could assist everyone who contacts us, the reality is that our capacity is limited by our size, resources, and the legal and political complexities of international travel.
It appears that you are requesting assistance while currently residing in the United States.
Unfortunately, we are not able to support individuals within the U.S. unless they arrived through one of our resettlement pathways within the past year. Due to the constraints of the international legal framework, we are currently unable to provide resettlement services for individuals in the U.S. based on a well-founded fear of persecution related to their identity, expression, or same-sex relationships.
Given this, we will need to close your request, as it falls outside our current service offerings.
