Stop the Violence in Uganda! Please Support the Peace Talks.

EMERGENCY RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS ARE SAYING THAT THE STARK LIVING CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN UGANDA ARE AMONG THE WORST EVER SEEN!

The U.S. government can make a difference in the lives of nearly 2 million people by supporting the current peace talks!

For over 20 years the rebel group, Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), has waged a brutal war against the Government of Uganda. The ruthless fighters in this conflict have resorted to barbaric tactics of murder, mutilation, burning of villages, sexual enslavement, and abduction of civilians – especially children – to be forced to fight.

Our elected officials should (1) work for a conflict resolution at the peace talks in Juba, Southern Sudan and (2) increase humanitarian aid to this war-torn area.

THIS DIRE SITUATION MUST END! PLEASE TELL OUR DECISION-MAKERS TO SUPPORT THE CURRENT PEACE TALKS AND SEND HUMANITARIAN AID TO NORTHERN UGANDA IMMEDIATELY.
