THURSDAY
NYC
Fight back against Uganda’s deadly anti-LGBT law. The EU’s inaction is inexcusable.

RSVP: bit.ly/RepealAHA23

Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ+ bill would make being LGBTQ+ or being perceived as LGBTQ+ a criminal act. It calls for:
▪️life in prison for same-sex acts between consenting adults
▪️the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality”
▪️20 years in prison for the “promotion of homosexuality”
▪️10 years in prison for “attempted homosexuality” and
▪️6 months in prison or a fine of $28,000 for failing to report someone believed to violate any provision of the bill

Uganda’s response would be devastated. Lifesaving HIV services would become crimes. And frontline service providers would become criminals.

This is a global emergency. Join the global day of action on Tuesday and answer the call for solidarity to fight back! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼
