Kony 2012

There is a man in Africa called Joseph Kony. He is the leader of a rebel group called LRA. They abduct children and make the boys child soldiers, they give them guns and force them to kill their parents and other people. They make them mutilate other people's faces. They turn the girls into sex slaves. Joseph Kony has been operating for over 20 years now. No one knew because no one cared. But people found out and they want to stop him. The idea is to help the Ugandans hunt him down and bring him to justice. He is number one on the list of most wanted war criminals.

We can make a difference, we can stop him. And we can do it this year. On the 20th of April from when the sun goes down to when the sun comes up an event called Cover the Night is happening. Normal people, people who don't know who he is will go to bed. But people who want to stop Kony will be up. Posters, banners, stickers, every form of media you can think of will be out and up. Everyone will wake up to posters about Kony. We're making him famous. Not because he should be celebrated but so that people know who he is and so that the US government doesn't pull their advisers out and stop the whole process. With any luck, other governments will get on board too.

But to achieve bringing Kony to justice and changing the world for good, we need your help. You need to tell everyone you know about him. And then you need to tell other people too. You need to spread the word about this evil man. This link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc 
Is to the video about him. It tells you all about what he is doing and how we can stop him. Watch the movie and share it. Share it over Facebook, Twitter, Email, MSN, your blog/s, whatever type of media you can find. Help us tell the world who Kony is.


Remember to tell people to tell everyone they know. Get the message out there and let's change the world so that when we leave it, it's a safe place for everyone, no matter where they are.


Thanks Guys.
