To anyone who lives in Marquette, or anyone who lives near one of the major cities on the website...
Global Night Commute and Invisible Children Showing
Invisible Children: A documentary about the war in Northern Uganda, and the 'invisible' children that are affected by it.
We're going to be showing the movie on campus in JXJ 103 on Wednesday, April 26th at 8:30pm. Everyone is welcome. This is a movie everyone should see... We'd like to have a full room! There'll probably be a short discussion afterwords.
Marquette is also participating in the Global Night Commute. On Saturday the 29th, we'll all head on over to the academic mall with a blanket and camp out there for the night, to raise awareness, and help the world see these Invisible Children.
More Info on the Global Night Commute, and the mission.
Americans are closing their eyes to open the worlds to an unseen war. By lying down, we are joining the invisible children in Northern Uganda, and demanding that our government put an end to the longest running war in Africa, and one of the worst crises in the world today.
Facts:
-Northern Uganda called the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today because of the lack of attention
-1.7 million people forcibly displaced
-An estimated 20-50,000 children abducted to fight as soldiers
-Tens of thousands of children commuting nightly
-130 people die per day in Northern Uganda due to violence
On April 29th in over 130 cities across the country, thousands are lying down to demand that our government take a stand and put an end to child abduction, the need for night commuting, and war in Northern Uganda.
We ask TWO simple and clear things:
President George Bush and the United States Government should press the United Nations and President Yoweri Museveni to do everything in their power to:
1.End the conflict and protect the civilians in Northern Uganda.
2.Ensure the adequate humanitarian assistance to the Invisible Children (in internally displaced camps and beyond)
