No internet shutdowns, no silencing young voices.
Elections must be open, inclusive, and connected.
Access to the internet is access to participation, information, and democracy.

Internet shutdowns hit some people harder than others:
women, youth, persons with disabilities, rural communities, and small businesses.
Digital exclusion during elections deepens inequality.
That shouldn’t be our legacy.
#KeepTheInternetOnUG
When the internet is shut down, it’s not just politics that suffers.
Journalists can’t report.
Businesses can’t trade.
Families can’t communicate.
Voters can’t verify.
We all lose.
#KeepTheInternetOnUG
Security matters.
But blanket internet shutdowns silence everyone, including peaceful voters, observers, and the media.
That’s why we’re calling for restraint, transparency, and respect for rights.

This campaign is about prevention, not reaction.
We’re raising our voices before polling day so Uganda doesn’t repeat the same mistakes.
Connected elections are credible elections.
#KeepTheInternetOnUG
With elections underway in Uganda this January, we call for an open and accessible internet for all. Democracy thrives on free connection, and free elections need a free internet.
