IC/DC: Calling You Out
February 20th, 2008The lobby days. You’ve heard of them, and maybe you’ve even been thinking about going. Well, time flies and the lobby days are in one week. To those of you that don’t know what we’re talking about, listen up: the job’s not over. The displaced in Uganda won’t go home until the peace talks are signed, and the peace talks won’t be signed unless they know that the US will support their work. So we’re taking a risk. Last year’s lobby days brought in 800 people, the largest lobbying force for East Africa ever. (To those of you that were there, thank you.) This year we’re asking that 1,000 come out, but we have yet to see 500 names on the list. Sign up and bring a friend. Maybe two.
Oh, and we have a video for you…
If you’re having trouble seeing it, check out youtube.com/invisiblechildreninc
p.s. If you’re a student, it costs $20; if you’re a normal person, it’s $50; and if money is a problem, feel free to contact Resolve Uganda at lobbyday@resolveuganda.org.
p.p.s. If you can’t make it, call your Congressmen on Tuesday, February 26th.
p.p.p.s. If you decide to go at the last minute, just show up. We’ll sign you up there.

Glorious! Creating sustainable peace is in the best interest of our government and our economy, let’s just tell them how important it is to us. I’m very excited to come out to D.C..
