Stop KONY 2012
It's unbelievable at how fast something can spread if people are passionate about it. Our world is full of technology and that is part of the reason why it's so great to live in the 21st century. People can share ideas, create commotion and initiate action all with the click of a button. And today is no different.
It's weird because as I was watching Machine Gun Preacher tonight, the online world blew up with the video that can and will change 2012. It's crazy at what goes on in this world but for nobody to know about it is even crazier. Joesph Kony has been a Guerrilla group leader for more than 26 years. For 26 years he's been kidnapping and forcing children to become apart of his army so he can keep his "power". That's right, he's forcing children to murder, mutilate and become a criminal just because he wants to be more powerful. Young boys are being forced to wield guns and shoot their parents and other people while young girls are being forced to be raped and become the wives of military men.
Does this seem right to you? When you think of children do you automatically think of war?
It's insane that it's only really gaining light now, but let's make 2012 a year to remember. Let's help gain the attention of international leaders and even followers so we can help put Kony behind bars and free children so they may actually know what a childhood looks like.
On April 20th at sundown people all over the world are gathering to "cover the night" their hometowns in Kony 2012 posters to make sure people are aware of what is going on. Look for events on facebook, listen by word of mouth, or create your own event. Even if you are just one person, you can and will make a difference. The world is such a brutal place these days, why not make it a little bit better. If not for you, think about your future generations.
Watch this video. Share this post. Do anything you can in YOUR power to make a difference. Let's STOP KONY.

I know where I'll be April 20th.
Let's do this.
