Proud Ally is a new grassroots organization that promotes straight support of equal rights through visual media. Our mission is to create and collect images and video that speak for the social change we are all fighting for. We also connect allies to organizations such as MENY, GetEQUAL, Courage Campaign, etc, so that we can all join the LGBT community in collective action, in both online and offline activism.
