The fight for Invisible Children

The Invisible Children Organization raises money to rebuild Uganda. Uganda is currently in a civil war. The government is currently fighting the Lords Resistance Army, a rebel group in Uganda. Invisible Children also raises money to build schools, create mentor programs and create scholarships for these children. Children every night are abducted by the LRA and used as child soldiers and the organization is trying to stop this. In April of 2009, thousands of people went to capitol hill to push for a bill that would help these children. The bill was created and now is in the process of becoming a law.

Now the organization is currently in Oklahoma city with hundreds of people in order to rally and hold out against the OK Senator Coburn. Senator Coburn is currently attempting to kill the bill. The organization attempts to sit out near Coburn’s office until Coburn says yes.
