What are you doing April 28? Thousands of people slept outside last April to bring attention to the conflict in Northern Uganda. We were appalled by the horrendous acts committed by the Lord's Resistance Army on innocent people. We said we'd do anything for the invisible children.
Now that violence has lessened and the Juba Peace Talks seem to be starting again, we cannot forget about the many Internally Diplaced People (IDPs). With recent news that the United Nations will cut the World Food Program's food aid budget to IDPs and refugees from Uganda by half, it is even more imperative that we bring attention to this crisis.
The Invisible Children's Event, Displace Me will be occuring in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Pheonix, Pittsburgh, San Fransisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC on April 28-29.
