Yesterday, more than 50 All Out members travelled to Switzerland to deliver a petition of over 322,000 names from around the world to the International Olympic Committee, asking them to speak out against Russia’s anti-gay crackdown.
In fewer than 200 days, Russia will host the Winter Olympics despite their anti-gay laws, which fuel terrible violence and murder, flying in the face of the Olympics’ values of friendship and respect.
The Director of Communications accepted the petition and a meeting was held, where he listed the concerns and announced that the Olympic Committee has now asked for the Russian Government to state in writing that no athletes or visitors will be persecuted because they are gay.
More than 3,738 All Out members chipped in for a fighting fund to power the campaign, which meant that All Out could send some of their team to Switzerland.
