The first thing to do is always sign up for AFJN's eNetwork to receive the most timely updates and alerts about how you can be most effective in assisting people in Uganda! And you can visit our further resources page for more ideas. But other things you can do include:

• Join Resolve Uganda , an AFJN sponsored campaign, to receive email updates and action alerts about the growing international movement for peace in northern Uganda.
  
• Download our 2006 Northern Uganda Action Packet to get more resources about this issue.
• Organize a GuluWalk in your own community today or join with people in one of the hundreds of cities that will walk in solidarity with the children of northern Uganda this October. Also sign with the growing GuluWalk movement in support of the children of Uganda.
• Encourage your members of Congress to cosponsor the Child Soldier Prevention Act of 2007 by using our email form.
• Purchase and wear a Name Campaign dog tag that tells the name and age of one of the 30,000 children abducted in northern Uganda.
• Tell your U.S. Congressional representatives to be advocates for peace in northern Uganda by writing a letter to Congress from our website .
• Buy a bracelet, and plan a showing of the movie Invisible Children.
  
• Sign the “Children Should Never Be Soldiers” Declaration.
• If you are at a university, start a group committed to raising awareness and organizing actions to help end the war in northern Uganda. Kansas University students started KU4U, which provides a great example.
• Organize a fundraiser and donate the proceeds to your favorite international organization working for peace in northern Uganda – Uganda-CAN , GuluWalk, The Name Campaign, Catholic Relief Services, UNICEF, World Vision or others.
• If you are involved with a church or faith community, ask your group to commit one weekend to prayer and action for northern Uganda. Help for Uganda is an example of one such movement uniting prayer and action for the people affected by this war.
