Kristen Bell, Kirsten Dunst, Joel Madden and Pete Wentz along with Invisible Children invite you to get abducted on Saturday, April 25th to support the kids from Uganda.
On December 19th, 2008, Invisible Children teamed up with the lead singers of Thrice, Switchfoot, Saves the Day, Sleepercar, and mewithoutYou to put on A Very Merry Benefit Concert at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles. Before the show started, we had the opportunity to sit down with the guys (Dustin Kensrue, Jon Foreman, Chris Conley, Jim Ward, and Aaron Weiss) and ask them a few questions. One of the questions came straight from a MySpacer responding to a bulletin we put out. We'll have a more detailed breakdown later in the week, but for now, you can listen first-hand to what they had to say. As for the show itself, well, you had to be there. But, hopefully, this gives you an idea of how cool these guys were donating their talents to raise money for IC.

Peace is closer than ever, but Invisible Children's work is far from done.
This is an important time in Uganda's history and we must be a part of its future.
Donate $3 a week and invest in peace.
Invisible Children's recurring donation program, TRI, uses your weekly contribution to directly support work in education, political advocacy, development programs, and worldwide awareness campaigns.
Lobby days! You've heard of them, and maybe you've even been thinking about going. Well, time flies and the lobby days are in one week. To those of you that don't know what we're talking about, listen up: the job's not over. The displaced in Uganda won't go home until the peace talks are signed, and the peace talks won't be signed unless they know that the US will support their work. So we're taking a risk. We only sent this email out to people within a decent hitchhike radius from the Hill, and we're hoping the East Coast pulls through. Last year's lobby days brought in 800 people, the largest lobbying force for East Africa ever. (To those of you that were there, thank you.) This year we're asking that 1,000 come out, but we have yet to see 500 names on the list. Sign up and bring a friend. Maybe two.
Go to invisiblechildren.com to sign up.
p.s. If you’re a student, it costs $20; if you’re a normal person, it’s $50;
and if money is a problem, feel free to contact Resolve Uganda at
lobbyday@resolveuganda.org. p.p.s. If you can’t make it, call your Congressmen on Tuesday, February
26th. p.p.p.s. If you decide to go at the last minute, just show up. We’ll sign
you up there.

Within the next 24 hours, the Schools for Schools website will be open for business and National Tour season will officially begin. This time we're coming out to you because we believe Schools for Schools is THE club of the year, and that everything - from homecoming to home-ec - can help raise money for your school in northern Uganda. If last year you raised more than $1.2 million in 100 days, imagine what you could do with 150 days and a couple of freshmen wanting to make it into the cool club?
The 10 roadie teams are leaving at the end of the week and will be driving right through your town. Email movement@invisiblechildren.com if you still haven't booked a screening and want us to come to you. Simple as that. If all of this chaos sounds like an adventure of a lifetime (or if you want to do more than just book a screening), apply to be a spring roadie. If your parents think you're crazy, just tell them to consider it a degree in public speaking/car maintenance/the art of being revolutionaries. Go to invisiblechildren.com/jobs/ to download the application.

Invisible Children is going to set you up on a date.
IC/DC's gone rogue and we're calling the shots: we've asked your Congressmen to meet you where YOU are (because who has time to go to DC?!) so they can hear what you have to say about Uganda. Okay...so maybe they come home every August on Congressional Recess...but that doesn't mean that you aren't their favorite pen pal.
During August 13 and 17, make your summer worthwhile. Grab your Displace Me crew, join Invisible Children and Resolve, and bring peace to northern Uganda
On April 28th, 68,000 of you came to be counted. You left your homes, you left your comforts, and you displaced yourself for the displaced in Northern Uganda. Thanks to your continued commitment and compassion, long overdue peace may finally be on the horizon. Because of people like you we can say: every war has an end.

For the month of March, Bobby Bailey will be traveling with a small group to the remotest part of Northern Uganda to live among the hundreds of thousands that are internally displaced. They will be staying for two weeks in a camp and living as they live, eating what they eat, and trying to survive for a short time with people who have been enduring an emergency crisis for ten years now.
Here is his first entry...
Introducing the 15 locations for Displace Me.
When Hurricane Katrina hit this country, we saw for the first time what a displaced American looks like. Now we're asking you to imagine for 24 hours what it's like for the millions of people in Northern Uganda who have been displaced for over ten years.
We want our government to support the peace talks and aid those suffering in the displaced person camps. On April 28, join tens of thousands who are saying "Displace Me" and leaving their homes - to bring them home.

BE A HERO
Schools for Schools is Invisible Children's new program that holistically rebuilds schools by challenging young people to actively participate in their changing world.
Although we have seen much success with students enrolled in Invisible Children's Education Program (currently 540 students, each with a mentor), we have realized that the problems begin with the schools themselves.
Because of the war, the facilities are in desperate need of rebuilding having been ransacked by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) or moved altogether. Facilities in these displaced schools, which intended to be a safe and temporary solution have become permanent and are beyond inadequate. We are starting with ten carefully selected schools to renovate, and you are the ones to make it happen. Sign up today, and immediately make a difference.
The Schools for Schools website has ideas of how people around the world are getting involved, with "Heroes" (nominated by you!) featured monthly. If you are a student, rally your school and sign them up online; if you aren't in school, become a supporter. Use your creativity to raise money for your partner school in Uganda. Watch as students sign up, and see your fundraising totals climb in the "Real-Time Results" section. Since we launched the new Schools for Schools website, in little more than two weeks more than 4,000 of you have signed up and raised $65,000. But this is just the beginning.
Be a part of the first online community that proves, once again, how a lot of smalls can make a huge difference. Sign up.
Change lives. Be a Hero.
