Founded in 2000, Rainbow Refugee is a Vancouver based community group that supports people seeking refugee protection in Canada because of persecution based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression (SOGIE) or HIV status.
They support and assist LGBTQ+ /HIV+ refugee claimants in BC’s Lower Mainland through facilitated peer support, referrals, system navigation and accompaniment.
Reel Causes partners with filmmakers and Canadian causes dedicated to addressing global social justice issues. We host film screenings followed by a Q&A session to educate and inspire our community, and provide a forum for authentic conversation around the issues that affect us locally.
We acknowledge that Reel Causes and its events are held on the unceded Indigenous land belonging to Coast Salish peoples.
