ColorofChange.org: Help fight for justice for LaVena Johnson

[Kenyatta Wilson]

Please read the following, and if it is in your heart to help obtain justice for Ms. Johnson's family, as well as all of the other female victims of Army abuse cover-ups, then please click the link and sign the petition. Thank you in advance:

Dear Friend,

LaVena Johnson was 19 years old, serving in Iraq as a private in the Army, when she was raped, murdered, and her body was burned--by someone from her own military base. Despite overwhelming physical evidence, the Army called it a suicide and closed the case.[1]

For three years, LaVena's parents have been fighting for answers. At almost every turn, they've been met with closed doors or lies. But together we can help achieve justice for LaVena and other families who have suffered similar tragedies.[2]

Will you join me in standing with the Johnsons and calling on Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, to investigate the Army's cover-up of Lavena's death?
