STOP JOSEPH KONY!!
Joseph Kony is one of the world’s worst war criminals! Support the international effort to arrest him, disarm the LRA and bring the child soldiers home!
Who is Joseph Kony?In 1987 he took over leadership of an existing rebel group and renamed it the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA)
They are known for their cruel and brutal tactics. When Joseph Kony found himself running out of fighters, he started abducting children to be soldiers in his army or wives for his officers. The LRA is encouraged to rape, mutilate and kill.
The LRA operate in the Republic of Congo, Central African Republic and South Sudan. In its 26 YEARS history the LRA has abducted more than 30,000 children and displaced at least 2.1 million people.
Jason Russell the director of the ‘Kony 2012’ documentary is taking action to ensure that Joseph Kony is known as the worlds worst war criminal and that the U.S. and the international efforts to stop Kony are bolstered with a more comprehensive strategy for disbarment, demobilization and reintegration.

“It’s the most personal of all the ones I’ve done,” the designer said at the tableau-dotted presentation. “I feel like I finally clicked with a focus. I was remembering my time in Boston in the eighties when I was at school, when I was really into mod and mod music. I was thinking, Where am I gonna get my next beer and how am I gonna get my ass into the city?”
