Rainbow Railroad’s Freedom Party is the final event in Rainbow Railroad’s Global Freedom Series in celebration of LGBTQI+ freedom.
Rainbow Railroad’s Freedom Party in New York City is the final event in Rainbow Railroad’s Global Freedom Series, sponsored by The Points Guy, following incredibly successful events in London and Toronto earlier this Spring. So far the series has raised more than $600,000 for Rainbow Railroad’s mission to provide life-saving support to LGBTQI+ people escaping violence and persecution.
The series is a celebration of LGBTQI+ freedom: the freedom to express oneself, the freedom to live openly and without fear, and most importantly, the freedom from persecution and violence for LGBTQI+ people seeking safety around the world.
Featuring headline performances from drag superstars Brooke Lynn Hytes and BeBe Zahara Benet, as well as additional performances from The Iconic House of Miyake-Mugler and House of Yes!
