Republican Atheists announces friendship with Ugandan activist Mpagi M. Micheal
Republican Atheists is proud to announce friendship with Ugandan activist Mpagi M. Micheal (pronounced “M-pa-gee”), a man who has worked tirelessly for decades to draw awareness to human rights issues and corruption in Uganda and other parts of Africa. He has spoken in front of audiences in Africa, Europe and the United States.
Here is a brief description of Mpagi..
Mpagi M. Micheal was born in Uganda in 1979 to parents who had not planned his birth. At 10 years old he became homeless due to hardships with his family, and lived on the streets of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. He gradually became an outspoken activist about human rights violations, political freedoms, economic justice, corruption, plunder of public resources and separation of church and state. In 2004, he spoke on a Uganda radio show in defense of LGBTQ rights, and the radio station was subsequently fined $1000 by the state and forced to make a public apology for hosting his commentary. He founded, and has been a member of, numerous organizations defending atheists and LGBTQ rights and health. In 2016 he relocated to the United States. His most recent organization he founded is called Secular Friends for Liberties and Rule of Law, which promotes separation of state and religion in Africa, governance and African public policy.
