Hi Everyone. Ok so I know it's been a while, but I've been busy. I really want to tell you all about Displace Me, Invisible Children's national event/rally.
Last year we did the Global Night Commute, an even where 80,000 Americans left their homes and slept outside in their local downtowns to bring attention to the conflict in Uganda. It made a huge impact. Oprah even got us on her show for it. Wow.
We're doing it again this year...even bigger, even better. This year's event is called Displace Me. We are calling on YOU to displace yourself to bring a voice to the millions of Ugandans that are living as refugees because of the conflict.
It will be held in 15 cities across the country. For most of you Californians, you'll be displacing yourself to Los Angeles, to join thousands of others. I know, I know...LA's far. BUT COME ON! That's the point! People in Uganda have been displaced into refugee camps for over 10 years and are in serious plight. The LEAST we can do is drive 2 hours in give up a day of our lives for these millions.
It's on Saturday, April 28th, starting at noon, ending at noon on the 29th. It'll be an experiential event, and you'll leave knowing what people go through in displacement camps.

Then SIGN UP on that same site linked above! And tell everyone you know to do the same! It'll mean the world to mean...but more important, it'll mean the world to 1.5 million Ugandans living without a voice.
Peace and Love.
Blake
