Stop Uganda's Horrific Anti-Homosexuality Bill

Uganda's proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill, if passed, would be one of the world's most draconian laws against homosexuality — and a horrifying violation of health and human rights. This bill could dismantle many of the gains seen in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It perpetuates stigma, which fuels the HIV/AIDS pandemic. And it will make it harder for doctors, nurses and medical professionals in Uganda to provide confidential medical care to their clients.

The House and Senate will soon vote on HR 1064 and SR 409. These bills condemn Uganda's brutal anti-homosexuality bill and urge the Obama administration and the world to ensure health and human rights in Uganda are protected.

Tell your Senators and Congressperson to co-sponsor these resolutions and vote for their passage TODAY.

For more information on the bill, see PHR blog posts from December and January.

This message will be emailed to:

Your Congressperson
Your Senators

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

Uganda's proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill violates an individual's rights to life, non-discrimination, expression, association, and a life free from inhumane or degrading treatment. The US must take the lead to demand that Uganda withdraw the bill from consideration in order to protect the health and human rights of all Ugandans.

The House and Senate will soon vote on HR 1064 and SR 409, bills which condemn Uganda's brutal anti-homosexuality bill and urge the Obama administration and the world to ensure that health and human rights in Uganda are protected.

If you have co-sponsored either of these resolutions, thank you. If not, I urge you to co-sponsor them and to vote for their passage.

The US has given Uganda more than $1 billion to fight AIDS - this bill could dismantle many of the gains seen in the fight against the pandemic. It perpetuates stigma, which fuels the HIV/AIDS pandemic. And it will make it harder for doctors, nurses and medical professionals in Uganda to provide confidential medical care to their clients.

Please support HR 1064 and SR 409 and the health and human rights of the people of Uganda today.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
