She introduces her background and involvement in a youth gathering, then explains her support for Invisible Children’s media impact while expressing discomfort with the organization’s framing of Joseph Kony. The letter cautions against turning an individual into a purely vile object and asks how the recipient promotes Kony’s inherent value. It closes with appreciation and a request for response.","To Whom it May Concern:  \nI hope this letter ﬁnds you well. It is my desire that it opens up a dialogue between you and I from which we can both deeply beneﬁt.  \nLet me begin by introducing myself in hopes that my words come to you not simply from a computer screen, but from the human being that I am. My name is Katie and Iam 22 years old. I believe in peace, inclusion, love, restoration, learning people’s middle names, and avoiding mayonnaise at all costs. I help run a small but mighty (we like to think) annual gathering of young adults who long to make the world a better place. I ride a bicycle named Madeline.  \nThere are a lot of reasons why I support the work that Invisible Children is doing in the world. It seems that we have very similar dreams for how we want the world to look one day. It seems we both begin with an acknowledgement of universal human dignity and value.  \nThough this is true, I must confess that I still squirm in my seat a little bit each time I hear someone in my vicinity speak about Invisible Children.  \nYou may be expecting me to move on from here to write to you about how I think your ﬁnancials are shady, or that you spend too much money on media.  \nI’m not writing about that. In fact, I see Invisible Children as a leader in reaching my generation, and I believe your extremely impressive use of media is to thank (in part) for this. I believe you have honed in on a form of creative expression that is worldchanging. I have, in fact, aped your graphic design in my own work.  \nYou may also be expecting me to move on from here to write to you about how I think your work is simply fueling a “fad” or that you are corralling young adults to ﬁght foryour cause simply because they think that it’s “cool.”  \nThis, I am not writing about either. I am not interested in tearing people down who are trying to pursue good, no matter how popular it is. I commend you for reaching a point where you are actually ridiculed for creating something that both works for the betterment of humanity and is attractive enough to be considered “cool.”  \nThe reason I squirm in my seat is because I think to myself, “I wonder what Joseph Kony’s favorite color is.”  \nI think about that because Joseph Kony is human too. And he has equal and inherent value, no matter how many atrocities he has committed, is committing, and will commit.  \nAnd every time I hear about Invisible Children, I worry that in the noble attempt to save the world from the unfathomable wickedness and violence imposed on so many innocent people by Joseph Kony and the rest of the LRA, you have created an enemy  \nout of a man. I worry that you have turned a human being into the most vile object people who care about justice and love could ever dream about. I worry that those who zealously support the mission of Invisible Children to put an end to the violence of the LRA are bound together not for their love of the oppressed, but for their hatred of the oppressor.  \nAs I said before, my hope in writing this letter is to open up a dialogue between us. And the easiest way to dialogue is to ask questions.  \nSo, my question for you is this: How are you promoting the inherent value of Joseph Kony?  \nI deeply appreciate your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.  \nAll the best,  \nKatie Lynn Dwyer","cbCaimsZTKxMUN5F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimsZTKxMUN5F","pdf",28017,1,2,"English","en",105,"# Letter introduction\n## Background and support for Invisible Children\n## Concerns about framing Joseph Kony\n## Core question and closing","[{\"question\":\"Who is the author of the letter and what is her connection to the topic?\",\"answer\":\"Katie Lynn Dwyer introduces herself and describes helping run an annual gathering of young adults focused on making the world better.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the author feel uneasy when she hears about Invisible Children?\",\"answer\":\"She worries that saving the world from LRA violence may lead the organization to create an enemy out of a man and reduce Kony to a purely vile object.\"},{\"question\":\"What question does the author ask the recipient?\",\"answer\":\"She asks how the recipient is promoting Joseph Kony’s inherent value.\"}]","To Whom it May Concern - Letter | PDF",1787766220,5,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":28},"to-whom-it-may-concern-letter","",{"@graph":36,"@context":84},[37,53,67],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,47,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/to-whom-it-may-concern-letter/147585/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-26",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Who is the author of the letter and what is her connection to the topic?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Katie Lynn Dwyer introduces herself and describes helping run an annual gathering of young adults focused on making the world better.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why does the author feel uneasy when she hears about Invisible Children?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"She worries that saving the world from LRA violence may lead the organization to create an enemy out of a man and reduce Kony to a purely vile object.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What question does the author ask the recipient?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"She asks how the recipient is promoting Joseph Kony’s inherent value.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,96,100,104,108,113,118,123,126,129,133],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":29,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":128},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":132},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":29,"slug":136},19,"General","general"]
