Please join us for a conversation about the ongoing conflict in northern Uganda and prospects for peace in the region. While some progress has been made in Uganda—with a recently renewed cessation of hostilities agreement and an agreed upon roadmap for comprehensive solutions to the conflict—the situation remains fragile. Success will require leadership from the international community, especially the United States.

Come hear Ryan Gosling, John Prendergast, Jimmie Briggs and Betty Bigombe discuss their recent trip to Uganda; watch Laren Poole's brief film produced by Invisible Children; and learn about tools for taking action to help bring peace to Uganda from Michael Poffenberger.
