A self-described “LGBTQ+ migrant justice organization” in Boston, Massachusetts, paused their “wellness program” aimed at free benefits for illegal aliens and other migrants — including massages, haircuts, and other such benefits.
OUTnewcomers said in an April 17statementthat they were facing “escalating and credible threats to the safety of its founder, team, and the vulnerable community it serves,” moving them to shutter the program.
The statement said the initiative was meant to “provide non-clinical wellness support to LGBTQ+ migrants, aimed to address the profound mental health challenges, isolation, and trauma experienced by individuals fleeing persecution and violence in their countries of origin.”
As shown in a Google Formapplication, the “Belonging Matters” program was offering “need-based wellness allowances to support the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ+ migrants.”
They could receive between $250 and $500 to fund “yoga, meditation, storytelling, peer support, creative expression, and gym memberships.”
Other options listed on the application included hair styling, massages, acupuncture, and breathwork.
Project Belonging Matter has been suspended , we apologize for this. 🙏🏽🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️🩹https://t.co/rmrr60pQTG

The foreigners applying for money could report their sexual orientation and preferred pronouns — including “They/Them” and “All/Any.”
Options for immigration status included “Undocumented” — such as those receiving Temporary Protected Status or DACA.
