The Rescue

Tomorrow April 25th is a big day for 100 cities around the world and one small country in need of the worlds biggest commitment to humanity. A country that for over twenty years has waged a war against cruelty, anarchy, injustice, economic instability, and Joseph Coney. A war that was waging invisible to much of the world, until a documentary and the story of three people forced the world to see reality.
Millions were impacted by what we saw on the rough cut documentary, which exposed the night commuting of thousands of children all traveling miles to escape a tyrannical maniac and his force of LRA soldiers. The DVD showed children from all over northern Uganda traveling to towns to escape or postpone their abduction into the LRAs' force of child soldiers (which reaches to nearly 30,000 90% of the LRA).
Soon after this documentary penetrated the chasms of our mercantile driven minds, a Global Night Commute was organized marching thousands of young people from college campuses too major public square where we stayed the night writing letters and making art for our political leaders. We commuted and slept on the ground for the thousands of Ugandan children.
Latter on came Displace Me, and now The Rescue. Where we will again march under one banner with one mission. And again we will bunker down and the stay the night, and the next night, and the next if necessary. We will wait until we are rescued, just as 30,000 of the most invisible children still need to be rescued.
With each event has come major change, we have stopped the Night Commuting and brought aid the to Displacement camps, but now its time to end the longest running civil war in Africa and bring 30,000 children home. Come to the Rescue.

Hey, keep it clean and if things get touchy direct your animosity at me, no one else needs that.
