op-ed by NYT columnist Nick Kristof about Kony 2012.
brilliant piece. exactly how i feel. stop vilifying the makers for simplifying the issue or accusing them of being neocolonialist.
at the most basic level: it’s generating a wide base of awareness, which is key in stopping any injustice and bringing anyone to justice.
read this.
Awareness and education are key to action. If no one raises awareness no one will know about the situation. Yes, the video simplified the situation but it had to be simplified to be understood.
Read this and do research!

most of you will probably forget about Kony…cause some new fad will turn up. so hopefully some of you stick to your word and actually do something.

It has been over 20 years, over 30,000 children affected and it is time for Joseph Kony to be found, arrested, and put on trial for his crimes. Kony and the LRA need to be stopped and children need their lives back.
Children are stolen from their beds at night. Girls are forced into sexual slavery and boys as young as 5 years old are forced to carry guns and be soldiers.
2012 is the year the Kony needs to be stopped.
