Joseph Kony is a Ugandan Guerrila Group
leader that is head of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), a group that has
earned a reputation for its actions against people. They abduct and
force thousands of children to fight for them, forcing them to kill
their friends and families.
No this is not a new movie out, this is not like Blood Diamond, this is real life.
On Monday 9th March 2012 a film
campaign by Invisible Children went viral, about Kony and his actions, not to
celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for
international justice. Below you can see and watch this video for more details
about the campaign.
THE CAMPAIGN
Everyone involved in the campaign or anyone
ready to help will meet at sundown on the 20th April across the
world, to create a buzz by sticking posters and stickers up on every corner,
(these are specialized Kony 2012 action kit available online). This means when
the rest of the world wakes the following day they will all notice these
posters, raising further support for the cause.
THE TREND
This support video has trended worldwide,
making it popular to support this cause. The Kony 2012 action kit also includes
t-shirts, logos and graphics that are already starting to trend throughout the
web and in the streets. With this campaign obviously working extremely well, in
the future years ahead you will definitely see more campaigns and support
graphic t-shirts throughout the world for not just this cause, but for many
more which arise in the future.
