Dear RWF Friends,

    I hope you can join us tonight for an evening with Ugandan human rights activist Richard Lusimbo. This is a great opportunity to learn about the challenges that many in our global LGBTQ family face and how we can help.  
   
  
FREE EVENT IN SAN FRANCISCO NOV. 17
FROM UGANDA WITH LOVE

Meet Richard Lusimbo, a chief witness in the case against anti-gay American pastor Scott Lively. Lusimbo will speak about the terror the minister and his colleagues have unleashed against LGBTQ Ugandans and discuss the case being heard in Federal Court charging Lively with committing crimes against humanity.

MEET LUSIMBO - A MAN OF COURAGE

Richard Lusimbo, gained international attention when he was outed in 2013 and 2014 by a Ugandan tabloid for being gay. His picture appeared on the cover of the tabloid "Red Pepper," with the headline "Top Gays Speak Out: How I Became Homosexual." After receiving repeated death threats he had to leave his home and later leave the country to stay briefly in the United States. He has since returned to Uganda
and like other LGBTQ leaders there he lives under constant threat of violence in his home country.

Join us for an evening of conversation with Richard Lusimbo on November 17 from 7:30pm to 9pm at San Francisco's GLBT History Museum at 4127 - 18th Street. 
Facebook RSVP and event details are here.

RWF provides financial aid to support members of the Ugandan LGBTQ community who faced abuse and harassment following that country's passing into law and subsequent nullification of the Anti-Homosexuality Act in 2014. RWF aid is used to provide transitional safe housing, transportation to safety, medical assistance, as well as modest start-up funds for basic necessities for people to being new lives. Donate here to provide life sustaining aid to our brothers and sisters in Uganda.
