Joseph Kony is one of the world’s worst war criminals and I support the international effort to arrest him, disarm the lRa and bring the
child soldiers home.
Sign the pledge online if you haven’t already, and get all your friends and family to do the same. The more people on board, the better.

fAmE And PoWER
We’ve chosen 20 culturemakers and 12 policymakers who have little in common except the scope of their influence. They represent diverse
cultural and political perspectives. but this is one thing they can all agree on. lady Gaga and George W. bush may be unlikely allies, but
that is what Kony 2012 is all about.
It can feel like celebrities and politicians tell us what to do and how to live, but in reality they owe their fame and power to us. Whether in ticket sales or ballot counts their success is measured by our approval.
We aRe The maSSeS.
If our leaders know that we want to see Kony stopped, they will make it a priority.
We will make them notice. We will find common ground. and we won’t quit until lRa atrocities have ended.
PeRmanenTly.

JoSEPH kony iS THE WoRLd’S WoRST WAR CRiminAL.
LRA STATS:
Current situation:
U.S. military advisers are currently deployed in central africa on a “time-limited” mission. Invisible children has been working towards this for 8 years. If Kony isn’t captured this year, the window will be gone.
We are taking aCtion to ensure these tWo things:
1) That Joseph Kony is known as the World’s Worst War criminal.
2) That the U.S. military advisers support the Ugandan army until Kony has been captured and the lRa has been completely disarmed. They need to follow through and finish what they have started.
Does invisible ChilDren enDorse a politiCal party or CanDiDate?
no. Invisible children is a bi-partisan, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We have seen that everyone, regardless of political beliefs, can agree that Joseph Kony needs to be arrested.
What happens if kony is CaptureD or killeD?
This campaign is advocating for the arrest of Joseph Kony so that he can be tried for his crimes in an international court.
Kony’s capture would not only end his ongoing atrocities, but it would also set a strong precedent for the future of international criminal justice. however, if Kony is killed during the ongoing op-eration, it would still be a victory for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people living in fear. That said, it would not necessarily result in the immediate end of the lRa. once Joseph Kony and his top commanders are removed from the battlefield, and the lRa is completely disarmed, reuniting families and rehabilitation will be the first priority.
Invisible children has constructed the first and only child rehabilitation center in the lRa affected region in DR congo. The center is currently treating the most traumatized children.
is invisible ChilDren enCouraging illegal aCtivity in the posting of kony 2012 Campaign materials?
no. Don’t do anything illegal. Don’t get arrested. Research your city’s rules about posting campaign materials and use common sense.
WHy noW
