Because we’ve seen so much progress in the decrease of LRA violence in the past year, some leaders in Washington think we’ve now done enough. But enough doesn’t cut it. The mission is #zeroLRA. As we speak, these leaders are meeting to reevaluate counter-LRA operations and if those operations don’t get reinstated, we are blatantly abandoning communities in central Africa still targeted by LRA violence and giving Joseph Kony the opportunity to rebuild his army.Thankfully, the following Members of Congress are committed to a world with #zeroLRA and have signed onto a letter that will be sent to President Obama encouraging him to remain committed as well. We’ll continue to update this blog as signatures come in. Be sure to send your Members of Congress a thank you tweet once they’ve signed on.
