Welcome back to Talking Points. I'm Brian Kelly, the Points Guy. This week we are going to talk

about an organization that is helping save lives around the world. You know, I'm extremely

fortunate that I'm able to be a proudly

out entrepreneur who's able to travel the world to most countries thanks to my

privilege of having a US passport and frequent flyer miles and the resources to do it.

But through these travels my eyes have been opened to many realities that I never thought were happening.

I know several years ago when I was reading the New York Times and hearing about LGBT concentration camps, gay people being rounded up, tortured and killed just for being who they are.

And I remember wanting to stick my head in the sand and deny that that couldn't possibly be happening

not in this day and age.

Soon after that article, a friend told me about Rainbow Railroad an

amazing organization that's on the ground helping LGBTQ people around the

world who are at risk of persecution, jail, or even death.

Much like the Underground Railroad, they have a network of people who are working their

best to get people to safety.

And if there's one thing that I know,

travel has changed my life.

Travel has the power to save lives as well.

So I wanted to be a part in helping physically get LGBTQ refugees to safety and over the last several

years we've teamed up with Rainbow Railroad.

We've done Frequent Flyer Mile drives, we've done Prizio campaigns, and we are in the middle of our biggest one yet.

And here to talk all about Rainbow Railroad is Kamali Powell, their executive director. Kamali, thank you so much for joining us today.

Thanks so much for having me.
