Kony 2012

“KONY 2012 IS A FILM AND CAMPAIGN BY INVISIBLE CHILDREN THAT AIMS TO MAKE JOSEPH KONY FAMOUS, NOT TO CELEBRATE HIM, BUT TO RAISE SUPPORT FOR HIS ARREST AND SET A PRECEDENT FOR INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE.”

WASHINGTON — A campaign to bring accused war criminal Joseph Kony, the fugitive head of Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army rebels, to justice has gone viral on the Internet. The hashtag “#stopkony” was among top.

The following was taken from socialmediatoday.com by someone who thinks it will help prove that social media is a spiritual awakening:

"But before you do, let me add a disclaimer. I'm not a particularly political person, but this video will certainly move you. I think it will effect you even more profoundly if you're a parent, I felt as if I had been kicked in the stomach while watching it. This video articulates beautifully that this social media animal is a spiritual dance. That together, "many littles" can do great things through our collective digital connections."

"If Jen and Mike hadn't shared the video with me, I wouldn't have shared it with you, and you wouldn't have been able to share this post with your social network, and perhaps this movement would die on the vine. Thank you to Jen and Mike for being brave. I think the rest may be up to you."

This campaign exploded over night and I think it proves just how powerful social media is. This morning I saw Ryan Secrest tweet about it. It will be interesting to see if it works or not.

WATCH AND SHARE
IF THE WORLD KNOWS WHO JOSEPH KONY IS, IT WILL UNITE TO STOP HIM.
IT STARTS HERE.

I really like this video. It gained so much attention in just a few days, and it shows how powerful its message really is!
