Press Statement on the Ugandan Court Decision on the Anti-Homosexuality Act: state.gov/ugandan-court-…

She had options but chose to target early educators, working families with low incomes, wealth-building for poor kids, eviction prevention svcs, and all with low and mod incomes via sales tax. That's not shared sacrifice. #dcbudget #taxsystemforjustice #justrecoverydc
