🌍Looking back at the Carr Center's 2024 International LGBTQI Activism Summit, we learned so much from the activists who joined us from 20 countries around the world. Their remarks filled us with hope for a more equal and just future.

Looking forward to discussing the displacement crisis in Latin America & the Caribbean and the vital role of migration in inclusive societies at @ConcordiaSummit in Miami next week.
This is an important platform to address LGBTQI+ refugee experiences and seek durable solutions.

I can’t think of a more deserving recognition. Frank I’ve been honoured to work alongside call you a friend for over a decade now, but in particular watching you this past year passionately fight the egregious Anti-Homosexuality Act has been remarkable. Solidarity always comrade!
Honored to be included in the 2024 #TIME100 list. Grateful for the recognition and inspired to continue making a positive impact. time.com/time100

Thank you for this tribute highlighting @frankmugisha’s incredible crusade for LGBTQI+ equality in Uganda. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.
I wrote about my friend @FrankMugisha’s utterly courageous fight for LGBTIQ+ rights in his native Uganda. #Time100 time.com/6964172/frank-mugis…

Today, the Constitutional Court of Uganda declined to nullify the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023 (AHA23). This is one of the most extreme pieces of anti-LGBTQI+ legislation in the world, and includes the death penalty & life imprisonment. #Thread

The only court case cited in the ruling was US Supreme Court case Dobbs v Jackson which ended the right to abortion in the US, indicating the successful export of extremist hate through right wing funding channels. There must be accountability.

Thanks to @Travisdhanraj for hosting us on #CanadaTonight for a conversation about @RainbowRailroad, and how centring individuals with lived experience of forced displacement is critical in the work we do.
