Lobby days! You've heard of them, and maybe you've even been thinking about going. Well, time flies and the lobby days are in one week. To those of you that don't know what we're talking about, listen up: the job's not over. The displaced in Uganda won't go home until the peace talks are signed, and the peace talks won't be signed unless they know that the US will support their work. So we're taking a risk. We only sent this email out to people within a decent hitchhike radius from the Hill, and we're hoping the East Coast pulls through. Last year's lobby days brought in 800 people, the largest lobbying force for East Africa ever. (To those of you that were there, thank you.) This year we're asking that 1,000 come out, but we have yet to see 500 names on the list. Sign up and bring a friend. Maybe two.
