Stop Joseph Kony Revised
13 years ago
In it you'll learn about Joseph Kony, the #1 war criminal indicted by the International Criminal Court. This man abducts children from their homes and turns them into sex slaves and child soldiers. He forces them to mutilate and kill, and he's been doing it for 26 years...
Put your support behind this movement. Watch the film and re-post it. But don't stop there. Take action. show your support.
I've come to understand that the group behind the video I've posted is not the most effective one to put your time and money into, but the messege still stands. Misguided as Inivisible Children are, it does not change the fact that the LRA still operates in central Africa, still commits heinous war crimes, and still needs to be stopped.
Write your congressman. Write your senators. Make them understand that this in not an ancillary issue. This goes to the very heart of our humanity and decency. We should do all we can to stop this kind of monstrous crime, wherever it occurs.
Rarely does a figure emerge in the world that can so unequivocally be called evil. Joseph Kony is such a figure. Make him famous, and help bring him to justice. It is simply the right thing to do.

It's a complicated situation, I understand. But no harm can come from keeping the situation in the public eye. Perhaps IC is not the best organmization to get behind, I'm willing to admit that. But the cause is still just. And promoting the idea that we shouldn't sit on our asses and forget that there's a whole world beyond our borders seems worthwhile to me.
