Displace Me

Water and saltines will be collected upon entry and redistributed. Because you have to depend on foreign aid for food in displacement camp.

Tonight, in 14 cities throughout the US, more than 65,000 people will travel to displace themselves.

A few college guys traveled to Uganda in 2003, finding children in the midst of war who commute nightly for a safe night's sleep. They walk for hours and sleep in unimaginably horrible conditions. Child soldiers are recruited by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). In response, three men not much older than me started the Invisible Children campaign. Their goal? To help Ugandan children. More on this in a future blog - because the campaign is genius.

So Americans will displace themselves for a night, sending a message to the US and Ugandan governments that peace talks must be resumed, the war must end, and children and civilians must be protected.

Sign up for displacement camp at a city near you.
