The Caravan of Hope

The Caravan of Hope seeks to alleviate the burdens and stress experienced by the most vulnerable of us in the LGBTQ community and ensure that people living in rural communities have access to the resources they need to thrive. LGBTQ Americans live in every corner of this country and always will; there are proud LGBTQ farmers in Iowa and cattle herders in Wisconsin. The sad reality however is that LGBTQ individuals in the 29 states without state laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation consistently see greater disparities than in the 21 states with such laws, including less social acceptance and greater economic vulnerability, especially among African-American LGBT and individuals transgender people.
