KOI has gotten its tax exempt status! We are working on updating our website to reflect this. We have also at this point helped relocate about 30 folks to Seattle. If you are looking to volunteer please do! koinitiative.org/get-involved/

gofund.me/1fbc62dd We have 4 more people coming in, and 4 people here we are currently helping. Any donation now helps ensure these people have the best possible chances here. Show how strong we are as a community, donate!

Here are some anonymized quotes from people about why they need to flee "To get out of the place I've been trapped for over a decade, being emotionally manipulated while being denied chances to pursue who I am."

Here is an excerpt from one of the people we've helped thus far. Donations directly help us support these people, and the many others who need/will need help.

We have evacuees coming in! We're going to be running some events in january to help evacuees settle in, and to help generate resources for them. If you're a queer business owner in Seattle please HMU

Do you live in the Puget Sound area and want to help out? Please get in contact with us!

Hello! We're a group based in the PNW focused on helping queer people relocate!
