The Rescue Aftermath








About a year and a half ago, some friends and I joined with thousands of others across the globe to "abduct ourselves." Sleep outside, and raise awareness about the Invisible children in Africa. If you don't know about invisible children by now, please look up the documentary and watch it! It's less than hour of your time and it's amazing. I have been to several Invisible Children events throughout the years, but the Rescue was the most recent and caused the most ruckus. This is the video that was put together afterward. Because of all of us, it is now LAW to stop the war in Uganda. We did it, after several struggling years. This video makes me so emotional because American people stopped caring about themselves and joined together for these children. It's about time.

There are those who expect the unexpected
There are 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 their life as valuable as ours?

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.

Keep up with current events. Keep up with Invisible Children at


Remember, we were not put on earth to please ourselves, we are here with the sole purpose of helping others. It's not about me. :)
