The Rescue

Melody Gates, Sarah Montoya and others from ReIMAGINE's community are putting incredible energy into this protest/ demonstration Saturday April 25th. Please consider joining us at 3 P.M. Saturday. The abduction of child soldiers in Uganda by Joseph Kony may well be something that future generations look back on as we do the Nazi Holocaust or the genocide of Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia. Unfortunately we often only become aware and passionate about these offenses against humanity after the fact. With this situation in Uganda we have the opportunity to be in the know and work for justice and healing now!

 Be a part of the demonstration walk at 3 P.M. on Saturday.  See the invisible children website for details.

THE RESCUE:

On Saturday, 100,000 people will come together around the world in 100 cities to stand in solidarity with over 30,000 children that have been abducted and forced to fight a senseless 23 year long war by the Lord's Resistance Army in East Africa.  We will be waiting to be rescued by a person of great cultural influence on that night.

We will not be leaving until someone of great cultural influence comes and rescues us.  There will be 1900+ young people in attendance on Saturday, and as many as possible will continue to wait it out for our rescuer if no one comes on Saturday evening.

We are meeting at 3:00 PM on Saturday at the corner of Jefferson and Hyde Streets to walk to East Beach (near Crissy Field), where we will be waiting for our rescuer from around 4:00 PM Saturday until as long as it takes.  If you would like to watch the video that better explains the situation, you can find it online at www.therescue.invisiblechildren.com

Don't sleep through the revolution.
