Help Me Leave is a volunteer-driven resource platform designed to help individuals—especially those from marginalized or at-risk communities—explore safe and legal pathways to relocate outside the United States. The platform provides simplified, accessible information on visas, asylum processes, cost of living, and country safety data to support informed decision-making.
The site includes tools such as country comparison data, visa pathway guides, and relocation planning resources, allowing users to evaluate potential destinations based on their personal circumstances. It also offers community support through peer networks and volunteer guidance, helping users navigate the emotional and logistical challenges of international relocation.
Help Me Leave focuses particularly on individuals facing heightened risks—such as LGBTQ+ people, disabled individuals, and others impacted by political or legal instability—while emphasizing legal, realistic migration options rather than unsafe or undocumented pathways.
For activists, researchers, and individuals planning for contingency scenarios, this platform provides a structured starting point for understanding global relocation options. It is especially useful as part of a broader preparedness strategy, helping users assess risk, plan ahead, and identify viable international pathways before a crisis point.
