Biden-Harris Wins 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

Under a Biden-Harris administration, we are hopeful that the United States can return to a much needed beacon of hope for LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers searching for a safe place to call home.

During the last four years, the Trump administration has repeatedly attacked LGBTQ+ rights, particularly trans rights, while simultaneously attempting to effectively end asylum in America. We are encouraged by today's election results and America's potential under a more inclusive administration to return to a world leader on both LGBTQ+ and refugee rights. We plan to scale AsylumConnect's free services to meet this demand.

AsylumConnect's Future Under a Biden-Harris Administration

During 2021, we are committed to scaling our free resource website and mobile app to list verified LGBTQ+ affirming and immigrant friendly services in all 50 U.S. states. Additionally, we are focused on expanding our new Mexico Catalog to facilitate the safe navigation of LGBTQ+ people traveling through Mexico on their way to seek asylum in the U.S. or waiting at the border.

Together, we can ensure our free technology is ready to welcome thousands of new LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees to America under a Biden-Harris administration.
