one of the most self-defeatin' habits we've normalized as ugandans is outsourcin' courage

i see too many people use their voice, not to speak about the issue itself, but to demand that someone else speak on their behalf

"where is so-and-so?"
"why hasn't this person tweeted?"
"why is that leader silent?"

yet you remain silent yourself

if an issue affects you, your voice matters too

civic action is not sustained by a handful of prominent figures; it's sustained by thousands of ordinary people consistently refusin' to be silent

when we repeatedly push the same few people to the front, the establishment knows exactly who to watch, intimidate, arrest, or isolate

once those individuals are neutralized, the movement loses momentum while everyone waits for the next "hero" to emerge

dictators struggle to suppress 1 million voices, they find it much easier to suppress 10

imagine if everyone who demanded that another person speak instead used their own account, their own whatsapp status, their own conversations, and their own platform to speak, question, document, and organize

the cumulative effect would be far greater than waitin' for a celebrity, politician, journalist, or activist to carry the burden alone

don't underestimate your reach because your tweet gets 4 likes and 1 retweet

social change has never depended on virality; it depends on persistence

every voice that joins makes silence harder to enforce

instead of askin', "why isn't someone speakin'?"

ask, "why am i not?"

Yes a good example is accounts on here with fake names, fake profiles asking someone to risk their lives and the lives of their families to advocate for something while they themselves haven't risked anything other than saying a lot of things while being anonymous

[Martha Ahumuza @MarthaAhumuza]

to "activists" and hence remain politically passive. The uncomfortable truth is that every functioning democracy requires ordinary people to see political participation as part of their own responsibility and not a service provided by activists. Support the people doing the work,

[Martha Ahumuza @MarthaAhumuza]

This is probably going to sound controversial but a lot of people have developed a sense of entitlement to other people's activism. I think one of the biggest problems we have is the delegation of activism. People have convinced themselves that civic responsibility belongs

[nefertiti @pettyvikk]

Unfortunately no one owes you activism. The threat to your life is real and no one should be forced into something they didnt sign up for. People have the right to prioritize their safety and their families without Judgement.

É assustador perceber que nós nunca sabemos o que outra pessoa sente. Não importa o que ela diga, pode ser tudo uma simples mentira

There’s a certain type of privacy & alone time I require in order for me to feel like I’m still functioning and operating as an individual. I cannot do the codependency or enmeshment.
