We should NOT underscore the need to prevent the travesty of #LGBT-refugees facing eviction and suffering from preventable starvation, lack of HIV medicine and basic safety in South Sudan.

Please DM for details on how you can be part of the #Spectrum-SSD safe shelter and food support program.

There's a small group of LGBT refugees in South Sudan facing eviction by the Government. Unimaginable hardship trying to survive and find safety. Need to find shelter, food, medical assistance, some are living with HIV. Terrible situation to navigate. Help is needed urgently.

African govts have cast out LGBT people to exist in strange lands & survive on scraps as refugees. Once able, learned, skilled men and women with purpose, goals and dreams have become beggars. Loving another should NOT be criminal.
It is upon us to Help and support queer refugees in Africa today.

Fellow LGBT refugees around the globe, languishing in refugee camps, battling rejection and discrimination often with hunger, disease, depression, and despair, praying for a miracle and yet without a clue what tomorrow may bring. Be strong shuga. ๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

This canโ€™t be repeated enough:

Masked soldiers are disappearing people off our city streets and itโ€™s not some post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel.

Itโ€™s actual America, 2025.

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

Queer people in refugee camps and asylum centers all over Africa;

"You're valuable. You're worthy of love and happiness. Your existence is not a mistake, and your identity is not a crime. The hate you face doesn't define you. Keep fighting, Help is coming. Stay alive!

Queer Refugees need to have a conversation about mental health. Depression is real. So many souls have been lost. Suicide is rampant! It is hard to find help. Rejection is heavy, stigma, disease and even survival in strange lands. Itโ€™s time we held space for each other, to heal.

Congress has passed Trumpโ€™s deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance โ€” programs that LGBTQ+ people rely on โ€” all to give tax breaks to the wealthy.

This bill betrays the promise that elected officials make to protect their constituents.

Do not forget... We will not forget.

Unfortunately, there's a decline in providing protections for LGBT people globally with several anti-gender movements and policies that undermine the rights and dignity of LGBT individuals.
This threatens legal protections and endangers lives by undermining safety for one to live authentically.

In Africa, religious leaders, laws, and practices have created a climate of systemic harassment and fear for TRANS people. Removing legal protections and creating a hostile environment that forces many to flee for safety.

Trans-Rights are human rights!

LGBT refugee rights are human rights! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

Governments often cover up their failures by blaming the most marginalised groups. Denying the rights of women and LGBTI people, plunging our communities into despair, and trying to erase our history.

But together, we can fight back.
We can pull each other up and create impact.

We all can!
