A Valentine for Frank Mugisha

The Issue

Imagine a life where your sexual orientation or gender identity can be punished by death, by your own government. This is reality for Frank Mugisha and hundreds of thousands of LGBTI people living in Uganda, where Parliament is working on a now-infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill that carries a death penalty sentence. 

This Valentine's Day, join the RFK Center and advocates around the world in sending a "Social Justice Valentine" to Frank and his partners at Sexual Minorities Uganda, the nation's largest LGBTI rights coalition. For every signature to our petition, the RFK Center will deliver a valentine to Uganda calling for LGBTI justice and a permanent end to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. This year, while you reach out to those you love on Valentine's Day, join us in sending a message about the freedom to love to those fighting for justice in Uganda.
