I strongly suggest that you watch this video. It's an uprising against a military leader in Africa, a rebel group, the LRA. Do what you can tell help fight this.

Share this video where you can, Facebook, Twitter, your school, work, everywhere

Just take the time to watch it, and share it.

Awareness is good. However there are many such groups in Africa.
Why this one and not the others ?

The first thing I wondered when I figured out what the movie was about.

I assume it's because he is the most wanted criminal by the ICC.

You have to start somewhere, right? Why not start with the worst individual?
It sounds pretty logical to me and is one of the greatest try in our global internet world. I will of course, be out during the night the 20th of April to set up posters, making the voice be heard.
To be honest; I can't care less about the African kids, but it's another way of thinking, and it's another way of creating something unique out of this pretty strict and controllable world.

If they really want this to work they should give out the posters for free.
I have the feeling that a too small amount of people will actually buy the posters.

He's probably the best example to start on. I don't agree with the group behind this video though, since they are majorly flawed.

Nobody said you HAVE TO use the posters they sell, there's no reason why you can't make your own.

Before you praise Invisible Children for what they've done, educate yourselves with this; http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/post/18890947431/we-got-trouble (http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/post/18890947431/we-got-trouble)

It's a good insight into why you should show support on your own and not through buying shit from these guys.

If they are begging for money than topic is closed.
Having read through most financial reports of charity organizations, I refuse to give them any other room for begging as through ads they pay for.
I prefer to support small and often anonymous charity, which goes directly to those who need it.
