Senator Inouye... Rescue the Child Soldiers

Yesterday, in 30 cities across the USA, our Invisible Children supporters and staff gathered to petition the remaining big dogs in DC to sign onto the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act. Senator Inouye is the second most senior senator on the floor right now, so we were excited to be able to rally Hawaiians together to get his support of this bill that will rescue the child soldiers. We met with his staffer to express our concern about this issue and she told us that Senator Inouye had heard our phone calls and was so encouraged that so many young people care about this issue. We had over 40 Hawaiians show up, most were high schools students (represent Castle, Kalani, and Kalaheo! We love you guys). The event was covered by Hawaii Public Radio and a reporter from the Honolulu Advertiser (biggest paper in town) came out as well. Here's some shots of the day:









We still need more public support. Please go to www.wewantobama.com to sign the petition and let your voice be heard in DC to help these kids.
