He likes to stay involved when it comes to foreign affairs, and Ben Affleck was busy partaking in a committee hearing at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday (March 8).
Joined by Cindy McCain, the ?Good Will Hunting? actor dressed the part in a designer suit as he took the stage to say a few words regarding the problems in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Affleck became involved after a 2008 visit to the African country, and since then, has helped set up the Eastern Congo Initiative advocacy organization.
Today in D.C., Ben discussed the issues facing the nation, which has been torn apart by conflict and violence since war erupted there in 1998.
Of the cause, the 38-year-old said, ?People are dying, really dying and have been for a long time. Fifteen years, three-plus million people have died. I don?t know that I can make any more argument about why you should pay attention to this.?
