In 2017 Planet Ally helped create history by co-founding with International Family Equality Day (IFED), the Asia-Pacific Rainbow Families Forum. In 2018, Planet Ally will for a second time host the forum from the 11th to the 13th of May in Hong Kong. We will be bringing even more representation, more country delegates and more visibility to LGBTIQ people and their families in the Asia-Pacific region.

Planet Ally is self-funding the event and trying to support any activists who do not have grant funding to attend. Sparking Change is also coming on board this year, providing the Asia Pacific rainbow family movers and shakers and social change makers with strategic storytelling training to better advocate for and tell their stories of their experiences of being a rainbow family in the Asia-Pacific region, along with strategic advocacy training to help create positive action from this event.
