heeroluva at Kony 2012 - Spreading the word to save lives
Normally I'm not one for propaganda but this is for a good cause, a great cause even that has stolen the lives and innocence of far too many. Watch this. Have a box of tissues ready. Prepare to be shocked and horrified and heartbroken. It's worth it. It really is.
I've never heard of Joseph Kony, and I bet most of you haven't either. He's a truly evil man who has turned children into soldiers and sex slaves for over twenty years. He's the founder of the the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), operating in Africa, and he has no purpose except to gain power. For the majority of that time, he did so with very little international attention. No one cared. Until now.
People are standing up, speaking up to the injustices, wanting something to be done. The campaign is seeking donations, but more than that it's after attention. I say give it to them. The more people that know the better.
Even if you can't donation, at least spread the word. It doesn't matter who you are or where you live. Every voice counts in this.
Edit Since I only saw this right after I posted this - please be sure to read this, too.
