said Juan Rajlin, treasurer and global executive sponsor of Pride at Google. “The pandemic has separated us from loved ones and communities and caused significant loss for many.
It is abundantly clear that we need an inclusive and equitable recovery.”Google will donate $2 million toward OutRight’s COVID-19 Global LGBTIQ Emergency Fund.
OutRight launched the fund due to the disproportionate effects of the pandemic on LGBTIQ+ populations, according to the organization.OutRight said since the fund began in April 2020 it had already provided $1 million in grants from the fund to more than 120 groups across more than 60 countries.
