Washington, DC
June 22nd-23rd

This June, thousands of people from across the country will come together to lobby our leaders to stop the one man holding an entire region hostage. It’s time for Africa’s longest running war to be over, and this is how it ends.

ABOUT THE EVENT
With your help, the biggest lobby day in American history will be history in the making, leading to long overdue peace and safety for the children caught in the crossfire of Joseph Kony’s war. For two days this summer, concerned citizens (and some high-profile cheerleaders) from every corner of the country will descend upon D.C. with one message: the time for peace is now, and this is how it ends. The program will include lobbying trainings, VIP speakers, a kick-off rally and will culminate in an unprecedented outpouring of activism on Capitol Hill, with hundreds of meetings taking place between Members of Congress and their constituents.

Confirmed Guests/Speakers Include:
Dan Pallotta, John Prendergast, Betty Bigombe, Senator Feingold, Stephen Lewis, Representative McGovern, Norbert Mao, Jolly Okot, Elizabeth Gore, Melissa Fitzgerald, Tom Shadyac, James Haven, Kristen Bell, Laren Poole, Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, Michael Poffenberger, Ross Bleckner, Levi Felix, and Shea Parton
