I think awareness of Joseph Kony should be raised, and he should be arrested. BUT they DO want me to buy their own posters to put up, instead of just independent signal boost. So i don’t know, don’t give them money, but this guy is horrible and should be stopped and i’m glad SOMEone is doing SOMEthing.
look what they’ve accomplished so far! i may cry. i want in. let’s start with this goal, and move forward
