Dear Friends, We have just signed a petition demanding that Ugandan President Musevini veto the "Kill The Gays" bill, should it be passed in Parliament. We just learned the "kill the gays" bill - a death sentence for LGBT people in Uganda - could come up for a vote in the next 72 hours if we don't act now. Conservative leaders are trying hard to push the bill forward before the millions like us who oppose it have a chance to speak out. If we can create a massive international outcry, there's a chance to stop this bill from becoming law. This hateful bill appears to be a political diversion, a way to distract from the legitimate grievances of pro-democracy activists, who have been beaten, tear-gassed, jailed, and even killed in recent weeks. There are only days left to make sure your voice is heard. Will you join us in demanding the Ugandan President Musevini veto the "Kill The Gays" bill should it be passed in Parliament? Sign and share this urgent petition: In Solidarity, Your MCC Office of Outreach |
