“The effort to have KONY arrested and his henchmen stopped has the support of so many young and old, as many as 3.7 million. It means that we are not alone. It makes us sure that together we will stop Kony.” – Francisco Madeira, AU Special Envoy on the LRA issue
“Is there any other place on Earth where we would have tolerated for a quarter of a century this kind of movement to kidnap, maim, kill, terrorize and target children year in and year out?” -Jan Egeland, Deputy Director, Human Rights Watch
“We want to appreciate the work done by Invisible Children, which has been able to make the world know that there is a tyrant in Africa maiming, raping and destroying the lives of young Africans.” – Francisco Madeira
“Having over 3 million in support of what we are doing on a daily basis to put Kony out of reaching the population is a burden on us. We do appreciate this. While it’s a burden, it is also an encouragement, for us to be able to do more.” -Abou Moussa, UN Special Representative to Central Africa
“Never underestimate your power. You’re not old enough to vote in this country but you’ve already shown how much your voices can matter. You have changed the debate and you have raised awareness.” US Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice
“Never stop contributing. Never stop being active. The worst thing you can do is be passive.” -Ambassador Rice
“Being young doesn’t mean that you can’t change anything. As adolescents you’re often told ‘you’re 15, you can’t do anything.’ Invisible Children really challenges that, and I really challenged that, being part of Invisible Children.” -Marcelo, young activist from New York City
