I feel overwhelmed by the worsening anti-LGBTIQA+ atrocities in Uganda. I read reports of LGBTIQA+ people sacked, turned in and attacked on the street. That's why I have donated to Humanity in Need. On World Refugee Day, I urge you to donate as well.

On day 2 of #WeartheChange I visited the World Refugee Day showcase outside Parliament House.
I ran into @FDPN_LGBTIQ, who do such important work raising awareness about unique challenges faced by LGBTIQA+ refugees, asylum seekers, & migrants. Was a pleasure to see them today. https://t.co/7batfSojIQ
I’m at the ASRC for its World Refugee Day fundraising telethon (1300 692 772). Tha ASRC is the best Asylum Seeker help centre in the world, and Australia’s treatment of Asylum Seekers is (arguably) the worst in the world.
You can help.
