Invisible Children Global Night Commute April 29, 2006

The Global Night Commute is a worldwide event organized by the Invisible Children Inc. organization. The Night Commute which will take place on April 29, 2006, will feature people from around the world converging on urban centers in solidarity with displaced Ugandan children attempting to avoid capture by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), as is prominantley displayed in the film "Invisible Children". The Global Night Commute will involve a trek of thousands of men, women, and children from around the world into major cities where they will mimic the nightly commute of the Ugandan children by marching en masse from one point to another and sleeping at their final destination for the entire night. The Commute is scheduled to occur in most major cities in the United States, as well as other locations throughout the world. The goal of this movement is to raise awareness and ultimately end Africa's longest running conflict by facilitating a change in the polices of the United States government in regard to the situation.
On April 29, 2006, join over 41,000 people who have already signed up to take part in this event. To sign up or for more information regarding the Global Night Commute and Invisible Children please visit
