Defending 2SLGBTQIA+ Rights: Our Partnership with Rainbow Railroad
In challenging times, bold action is essential. That’s the spirit behind our partnership with Rainbow Railroad, working to ensure the safety of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities all around the world.
Project State
In the Works
As 2025 Begins, Defending 2SLGBTQIA+ Rights Is More Urgent Than Ever
In the U.S., being part of one or multiple 2SLGBTQIA+ communities is becoming increasingly dangerous. The new administration marks the start of an era that is openly hostile toward trans people: banning gender-affirming care for anyone under 19, prohibiting trans people from serving in the military (and immediately discharging those already enlisted), transferring incarcerated trans women to cis men’s prisons… And the list goes on.
This alarming context reinforces the urgency of our recent partnership with Rainbow Railroad, a globally recognized organization whose work is more critical than ever.
Rainbow Railroad x TUX Karma: Strength in Unity
Rainbow Railroad helps people in danger find safety by assisting them to escape violence and persecution. Since 2006, the organization has helped 19,000 LGBTQI+ people reach safety.
In 2025, Rainbow Railroad aims to relocate hundreds of individuals fleeing their countries’ oppressive laws and anti-LGBTQI+ violence to safer regions. We’re proud to join forces with this incredible team.
Directly Supporting 12 to 15 Lives at Risk
Through this partnership and an initial $60,000 donation, TUX Karma will support 12 to 15 individuals this year via Rainbow Railroad’s via Rainbow Railroad's travel and resettlement programs and pathways —covering relocation costs, housing, medical care, and post-resettlement support.
“At TUX, we believe in leading with action. Partnering with Rainbow Railroad allows us to make a tangible difference and uphold the values of justice, safety, and inclusion that are so important to us.”

Remous: Pride 2025 Edition – Spotlight on Rainbow Railroad
A key moment in our partnership will be the Pride 2025 edition of our Remous event. After last year’s success with the Kiki Ball, TUX’s creative teams are already buzzing with ideas for next summer’s event. Beyond that, TUX will also lead various initiatives—from mentorship and fundraising to leveraging our creative expertise to amplify Rainbow Railroad’s mission.
“Together, we hope to drive a major shift in awareness and action, ensuring that every LGBTQI+ person has the right to live authentically and without fear of persecution.”

“I first learned about Rainbow Railroad through Canada’s Drag Race and was immediately inspired by their mission. Now, through Remous, I’m proud to go from admiration to action. Supporting this cause isn’t just an honor—it’s a necessity.”

Impact & Results
The partnership between TUX Karma and Rainbow Railroad will be reviewed annually to assess the tangible impact of our financial contribution. For us, this is proof that our profits can truly serve our communities.
“Thanks to this partnership, more people will be able to live freely and with dignity. This is an opportunity to state a simple truth, loud and clear: the lives of gay, lesbian, trans, queer, asexual, intersex, and Two-Spirit people matter. That is non-negotiable.”
