Incredible to see Ugandan and African diaspora demanding the World Bank #StopFundingHate as it reconsiders loans to corrupt Museveni’s anti-LGBTQ+ govt. Solidarity knows no borders and Asia Russell fights every day for marginalised communities. Sending solidarity from the UK ✊

There's no way to a 'compromise' when discrimination is the purpose of Uganda's anti-LGBTQ+ law. World Bank itself said it best: "We believe our vision to eradicate poverty on a livable planet can only succeed if it includes everyone irrespective of race, gender, or sexuality."
