Please, don't look past this journal; your vote could save lives.
In 24 hours, the Ugandan Parliament may vote on a brutal new law that carries the death penalty for homosexuality. Thousands of Ugandans could face execution -- just for being gay.
Political unrest is mounting in Uganda, and religious extremists in Parliament are hoping confusion and violence in the streets will distract the international community from a second push to pass this hate-filled law. This is our chance to show them that the world is still watching. If we block the vote for two more days until Parliament closes, the bill will expire
forever.
We're on 733,000. We're so, so close.
It's a few seconds of form-filling for you, and a lifetime of freedom for them.
Please, please, do it for them.
