An off schedule post for the people of Congo

It's from May, but I just found this article. I'm going off schedule because I want to share it right away, and thank Eve Ensler from the bottom of my heart for writing it.

Congo is heartbreaking to me. For 14 years all the people of Congo have been living in fear, with violence, death and rape all around them. 

And, this article absolutely captures it, for me.  We let these crimes go on, and on, and on. And every day each and every one of us don't take some action, whether large or small, the crimes continue. We have to realize that our politicians are not going to do anything if we don't make them!

Let me say it again: We have to realize that our politicians are not going to do anything if we don't make them.

One Million Bones is about raising awareness about these kinds of atrocities. It's about giving people a reason to care enough about other people half a world away that they will take some kind of action to help them. If you're reading this blog post, and you haven't before, please take the next step: Take Action. And if you have taken action already, please do it again.

Here's a link to Congo Global Action, please click it to see what you can do. 

Here's another from Raise Hope for Congo. 

Here's one more, from Enough!. 

This is for a British organization called Congo Now.  I say contact them too.   

And, please share this information with friends, family and co-workers. That's how it will happen.

It's so over used, but I'm doing it anyway: let us be the change we want to see in the world.
