Petition for Peace in Northern Uganda

For 19 years, a war has flared in northern Uganda between a rebel group and the government. The war’s main targets are not the combatants. The targets are children.

Over the course of the fighting, an estimated 30,000 boys and girls have been abducted and forced into being soldiers and sex slaves. Thousands of children and their families have been killed; hundreds of thousands live in squalid, unsafe camps.

Click here to sign an online petition to tell president bush, senators and congress members you want the united states to take the lead in ending the worst abuse of children in the world.
