Jason Russell is an American political activist responsible for the campaign "Kony 2012". This is a viral sensation that swept the entire world in less than 24 hours during March 2012. Its main subject is the African rebel leader Joseph Kony, his war crimes and the clearly defined “movement” to stop him. Countless celebrities endorsed the movement, news sources reported it and social media buzzed with it. While the problem of guerrilla warfare and child soldiers has plagued Africa for decades, and several documentaries have already been produced regarding the issue, this particular 29-minute video managed to obtain mass exposure and support.

Biography

Russell is an evangelist Christian and has spoken about his religion and its relation to his work in a speech at Liberty University. Russell has a son, and a daughter whom he doesn't talk about in the video. On March 15, 2012, Russell was arrested by San Diego police for allegedly being drunk in public and committing lewd acts, including masturbating in public and vandalizing vehicles. Police said Russell appeared to be under the influence while hanging out with his wang out and he was detained and taken to a medical facility for treatment.
