Jason Vana: Becoming a Better Man

Justice Starts at Home →

I tend to think of justice on a global scale.

Bringing an end to children becoming sex slaves. Advocating to provide food and water for the poor in third world countries. Fighting to end people being abducted and sold into slavery. Raising awareness for people living in garbage heaps. Providing schools and orphanages and hospitals so everyone has access to basic human needs. Even overthrowing a ruthless dictator to free entire countries from oppression.

It’s just how I’m wired.

I want to see the end of oppression.
I want to do something about needless deaths.
I want to make sure children are safe, lives are changed and no one goes without food.

I know I’m not the only one.

If you’ve signed into any of your social media profiles this week, you have undoubtedly seen the name Joseph Kony.

According to The New York Times:

Kony is one of the most vilified rebel leaders on the planet. He stands accused of brainwashing countless children across northern Uganda, turning the girls into sex slaves and the boys into prepubescent killers.

His so-called Christian movement, the Lord’s Resistance Army, has terrorized villagers in at least four countries in central Africa for nearly 20 years, killing tens of thousands of people, burning down huts and hacking off lips.

He sits in the number one position of the International Criminal Court’s 2012 World’s Worst Criminals List for repeatedly abducting children and forcing them into prostitution, brutal abuse and murder. He has trained young boys to be killers, forcing them to kill their own families, disfiguring villagers and using them as human shields against arrest attempts.

As I watched the Invisible Children video about Kony, trying to raise awareness of his atrocities in an attempt to influence decision makers in our government to continue the search for him, I couldn’t help but ask:
