Update from ReSolve Uganda

Time to hit the ballot boxes

vote

Our friends at Invisible Children have been voted as finalists for the $1,000,000 grant from Chase Community Giving, a Facebook experiment in the fusion of social networking and social justice. Out of the 100 non-profits to enter as finalists, Invisible Children is now ranked #2. And they need our help.

Along with their development work on the ground in northern Uganda, Invisible Children has been a major partner in advancing the advocacy goals of Resolve Uganda, helping build momentum for the record breaking level of support for the LRA Disarmament and Northern Recovery Act and securing 250,000 signatures through the We Want Obama campaign – a campaign that will greatly contribute in shaping the policy goals of the administration after the passage of the legislation. This grant could also potentially aid in funding mobilization of our grassroots base in advancing future policy initiatives.

Bottom line, they’re doing good work, and we’d love to give them a hand. Roughly three clicks and you’re done. First become a fan of Chase Community Giving, found HERE, and once you’ve done that, cast your vote for Invisible Children.
