Justice for Ugandan LGBT Activist David Kato
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/988/981/155/

signatures: 15,336
deadline: ongoing
signature goal: 17,000
Target: Ugandan Ambassador to the U.S., Perezi K. Kamunanwire
Sponsored by: Care2.com
After suing a Ugandan newspaper that published his photo and address, along with those of 99 others, under the heading "100 Top Ugandan Homos" and the caption "hang them", LGBT activist David Kato was brutally murdered in his home.
Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and David's work in changing national policy with the Sexual Minorities Uganda group (SMUG) made him a target. Although the murder happened just months after his name, address, and photo were published, police claim that the area is full of crime and that his death was most likely the result of a robbery. David's fellow activists and friends are now worried about their own safety, but say that because police haven't acknowledged the case as a hate crime, they must look out for themselves.
Uganda must protect all citizens, especially the brave men and women who are fighting for LGBT rights. The Ugandan Ambassador for the U.S., Perezi K. Kamunanwire has the chance to let Uganda know that America supports the activists and demands justice for David Kato. Let him know that David Kato's killer must be brought to justice before anyone else is harmed.

Sec-General Kamalesh Sharma, at CHOGM in Perth, just gave a courageous speech calling on each of the nations to finally end discrimination and criminalization of LGBT people. But forces are working double-time to silence Sharma and others. Demand fairness!

Urgent - Russia about to silence millions‏
We've been talking all weekend with our friend Sasha - a teacher and mom in Russia - and what we're hearing is horrifying. On Wednesday, political leaders in St. Petersburg are voting on a new law that will make it illegal to speak in public about being gay, lesbian or transgender.

Sasha and a broad coalition in Russia are doing everything they can to stop the bill. Yesterday, they organized one of the biggest demonstrations ever in support of equality - but still the international community is not paying attention. They need support from around the world - and they need it fast.

www.allout.org/russia_silenced

Because Russia is powerful, most world leaders have stayed silent. But if we raise our voices now, we'll shine an international spotlight on the issue that will be impossible to ignore.  

Will you take 2 minutes to add your voice to our urgent call? We'll deliver the petition to Russian embassies around the world and push the issue to the top of the international agenda:

www.allout.org/russia_silenced

If the law passes this week in St. Petersburg, it could quickly lead to a crushing of freedoms throughout all of Russia. Moscow, the largest city in the country, already said they were looking into passing the same law - paving the way for officials to make it national. Our friends in Russia believe that stopping the bill in St. Petersburg can derail the plan to take this law nationwide.  Many around the world have been reluctant to criticize the ruling party led by President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin, but their party appointed both the mayors of Moscow and St. Petersburg and they've gone on record in support of the proposed laws.  

Russia is already a dangerous place to be out and open as an lesbian, gay, bi or trans (LGBT) person. Courageous pride marchers were brutally attacked and detained by Moscow police last summer - for the simple act of holding their heads up high in public. If this bill passes, even the small victories that the LGBT movement in Russia has won will be wiped out - and pride marches, cultural festivals, and even the distribution of leaflets in the streets will be considered illegal.

Moments like this highlight exactly why we launched All Out just under a year ago: to stand with our friends around the world when they’re under attack, and to keep opportunistic governments from playing politics with fundamental rights. Please sign this urgent call, share it with your friends, and stand in solidarity with our brave friends in Russia - Coming Out, Side by Side LGBT Film Festival, and the Russian LGBT-Network - who are refusing to be silenced:

www.allout.org/russia_silenced

All the best and All Out,
Andre, Emmy, Erika, Flavia, Guillaume, Jeremy, Joseph, Nita, Oli, Tile, Wesley and the rest of the team at All Out
