Read "Ensuring Success: Four Steps Beyond U.S. Troops to End the War with the LRA" which outlines the need for broader actions by the U.S. and other countries to enhance the chances for a successful deployment of military advisors.
President Obama deployed 100 U.S. military advisors last fall to assist regional efforts aimed at ending the almost 25 year-old Lord’s Resistance Army crisis. This is an important step forward, but it needs to be accompanied by a larger effort and partnership in order to stop the LRA.
Thank President Obama for the deployment of the military advisors and ask him to do more to end this crisis.

While we applaud Apple for its innovative accomplishments – both in the world of technological advancements and industry-leading ethical improvements – we encourage them to elevate their performance so that other companies will soon follow their example. We call on Apple to help stop a war in Africa by sourcing confict-free minerals from eastern Congo.
Apple should cement its reputation as an industry leader by pushing for even greater reform and accountability. Apple should start at the source and reform its mineral supply chain by certifying that their minerals come from conflict-free mines in eastern Congo, instead of simply staying out of Congo.
By using certified clean minerals from eastern Congo, Apple can simultaneously help cut off funds fueling a deadly war that has killed nearly 6 million people and help the people of Congo recover from it.
