Support LGBTQIA+ Survival, Not Just Rights
Help Us Build What They Tried to Silence
We are VIVID, a national LGBTQIA+ civil rights movement born from trauma, built by survivors, and committed to protecting each other in a world that keeps trying to erase us.
We don’t exist to make anyone comfortable.
We’re not here to beg for rights or wear rainbow pins for show. We are here because people are hurting, and no one else is showing up for them.
That’s why we’re building Project Ember.
A first-of-its-kind, fully anonymous, always-on support platform for queer and trans people navigating trauma, addiction, abuse, and survival.
No accounts. No data trails. No scripts.
Just real, encrypted, human support—led by licensed counselors and trained peers.
Available 24/7. Free. For everyone 13 and up.
We’ve already built the infrastructure. Now we’re scaling it.
No ads. No profit model. No corporate gatekeepers.
We’re doing this because we need it. And we know we’re not alone.
Your donation powers:
• Project Ember operations: secure technology, professional staffing, and round-the-clock moderation
• Emergency mutual aid for LGBTQIA+ people in crisis or unsafe living conditions
• Community infrastructure that centers privacy, accessibility, and real protection
• Training and support for peer leaders alongside licensed professionals
• Outreach and organizing that reaches those most often left behind
Whether it’s $10, $25, or whatever you can give, you are fueling something real—something built with love, urgency, and absolute refusal to back down.
We believe in radical transparency. If you want to learn more or share feedback, the full public announcement and community Q&A are available on Reddit:
