Join us Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 5:30—11pm at Worcester’s Mechanics Hall for an evening of fundraising, community, and meaningful resistance alongside asylum seekers, volunteers, and supporters.

In this moment when LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights, and the right to asylum access are under attack, we choose to persist in our duty to protect LGBTQ asylum seekers on their journey to new beginnings.

This year marks 10 years of uplifting the voices and highlighting the struggles of LGBTQ asylum seekers at our annual Gala. We gather in solidarity with LGBTQ immigrants and asylum seekers under this year’s theme, We Persist.
