RESCUE video

Hello all! I'm getting ready to depart again to Uganda - details of the trip will come soon, but I wanted to follow up with my last post and the RESCUE event.

As part of the RESCUE event that I was involved in, in April, Invisible Children made a video. The words below are part of the poem we created spanning across our country and into a few others. I think the message is a powerful one for the youth of today and those who teach them. Every voice counts, find yours and use it!


You can see the video here:
RESCUE VIDEO




There are those who expect the unexpected.
Those who cast their vote for hope.
Those who believe that good will triumph over evil.
We are those people.
We are the masses.
Misfits.
Moguls.
Media.
We are abducting ourselves to pose the question to our leaders:
Is an Ugandan life as valuable as an American life?
We are shaping human history by closing the divide between awareness and action.
This is about redefining our role in the world, putting purpose before profit.
It's about ending the longest running war in Africa, setting precedent for justice and finishing what was started.
We are here to amplify the chorus of their cries.
Rescue Joseph Kony's child soldiers.
Deliver your voice and discover how it ends.
