Stopping Joseph Kony in Uganda: These Kids Need Your Voice

Justice is at stake in Uganda.

30,000 children have been captured--either mercilessly killed to teach others a lesson, or brainwashed and brutalized into child soldiers. Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, is responsible for these tragedies.

Please check out this article on the Enough Project web site, and then call Congress or the White House to speak up for the Ugandan people who suffer in silence. You can reach your senator's phone number at senate.gov (click senators, and then find your state). Explain to your senator that everything America represents--life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness--is being violated in Uganda by the Lord's Resistance Army, and then ask them what America will do about it.

If you haven't yet seen the Invisible Children movie, I would suggest heading over the invisiblechildren.com right now and buying the DVD. This movie has changed countless lives, including mine, and I hope it will transform the way you see the world too.

Additional phone numbers are available on the Enough Project web site.
