TRI is a campaign to give you the opportunity to mobilize our mission by pledging just $3 a week. To bring the 3000 child soldiers home it will take an army of at least 3,000 individuals to pledge $3 a week through TRI. Your $3 a week will go straight to advocacy, awareness and events that will lead to The Rescue of the child soldiers. Over the course of your membership, Invisible Children will send you exclusive products and updates. Your TRI donation will stop as soon as Joseph Kony’s child soldiers are set free. So if you believe in this movement, and you want to see an end to this war, sign up now. If you don’t TRI, who will?
