DISPLACE ME

You may have heard about Invisible Children and Displace Me, but please don't do yourselvs the disservice of not really considering what it means. Last year, a group of my friends and I helped to organize a rally for Invisible Children in Franklin called the Global Night Commute. Of the 130 cities across the world participating, Franklin was the third largest location by the number of people who participated. It was incredible. And as incredible as that was, Displace Me (April 28-29) is going to be even better. It will allow the participants to put themselves in the shoes of the people in Uganda that have been living in the terrible conditions of the displacement camps for the last ten years. Everything will be experiential. If you thought the GNC was good, wait till you get to Displace Me. In Nashville alone, we are expecting over 10,000 to gather together to support this cause. It will be absolutely unreal. I promise you, you will not regret participating in this event.

The reality is, no one else in the world is lobbying for the people of Northern Uganda like Invisible Children is. No one else is organizing rallies of over 80,000 people in cities across the globe. No one else is lifting up the voices of the oppressed in this country in Africa. WE ARE UGANDA'S ONLY SHOT AT JUSTICE. WE ARE UGANDA'S ONLY SHOT AT FREEDOM. If we don't stand up and bring awareness to this issue, NO ONE ELSE WILL. Please stand with me. Join me in Nashville (or in any other city) and let your voice be heard for the Invisible Children.

I'm helping coordinate Belmont's efforts for Invisible Children, so if you have any questions, please let me know. This blog will probably be IC heavy for the next couple of weeks, but it'll definately be worth it!
