Dear friends –
At the end of February, Ghana's Parliament unanimously passed the Anti-LGBT+ Bill – which criminalizes identifying as an LGBT+ person, forming an LGBT+ organization, or even showing support as an LGBT+ ally. The bill is now awaiting sign-off by the President. If signed into law, it would be one of the harshest anti-LGBT+ laws in the world.
Since then, petitions have been filed at Ghana's Supreme Court, raising concerns about the bill and aiming to halt the bill's progression into law.
In an alarming development, a motion by a parliament member seeks to compel the President to sign the bill into law and religious leaders are rallying to enforce this demand.
With the pressure on Ghana's president escalating, and our window to act narrowing, it is crucial that we take action NOW. This is our chance to stand with LGBT+ Ghanaians in opposition to this unjust bill.
Luc, over 77,000 All Out members have signed the petition asking Ghana's president to reject this bill. Your voice is the missing piece in our growing movement. Will you sign the petition TODAY and join the fight for justice in Ghana?
Yes, I'll sign now |
Together, we can make a difference and stand with the LGBT+ community in Ghana.
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt Beard
