During this event, not only are you going to be able to meet directly with your members of Congress and explain to them why you care about this issue (and why you think they should do something about it), you'll also have the chance to hear from some of the most well-respected experts on this issue. Panel topics will range from the current situation in northern Uganda, issues related to global conflict and awareness, and tools for peacebuilding and effective activism.
