Web3 Partnerships

​​The LGBTIQ community is one of the most marginalized globally & faces persecution, discrimination & violence around the world. Yet the global LGBTIQ human rights movement has made tremendous progress in the last few decades, despite being severely underresourced. 

We at OutRight believe that right now, there is a tremendous opportunity to radically accelerate social & legal change for LGBTIQ people around the world and ensure that our progress is not lost. However, we need more allies to join us – and we are dedicated to searching for new and innovative ways to uplift and support the global LGBTIQ community, including partnerships in the web3 space. 

As part of our 2022 #PrideWithAPurpose campaign, OutRight invites artists, creators, investors, projects and collectors from across the web3/NFT space to support our mission of fighting for human rights for all LGBTIQ people everywhere throughout the month of June.

Here’s how you can get involved

1.

Collect one or more artworks from the first-of-its-kind MetaPride Land NFT collection, which will be auctioned off to support OutRight and other LGBTIQ organizations later this month. 

2.

If you’re an artist, become a #PrideWithAPurpose Artist Ambassador by selling one or more of your works during Pride month and donating the proceeds to OutRight in crypto or cash (see below for details).

Collectors are also welcome to sell and donate proceeds of collected works.

3.

Donate an NFT directly to OutRight through Crypto for Charity – a platform that will sell your NFT and give the proceeds to OutRight.

4.

If you’re a web3 company or project, consider making a contribution from your community treasury, donating royalties, matching employee/member donations, or sponsoring an initiative to mint an NFT in support of LGBTIQ rights (see recent mint by @pussyrrriot and @salemilese to support reproductive rights).

“I love the good work of OutRight, which advocates for equal rights globally for LGBTQIA+ people like myself. Having donated close to 3 ETH (from sales of my work) over the last several months to OutRight has meant the world to me, and that’s why I keep coming back. Even a little NFT artist like myself can make impactful change, you just have to believe that you matter and so do those you’re helping. Change can happen. Change will happen. One day in our lives we’ll see real equality and equity!”
