GLORY!

so my song of the day is...drum roll...



So Invisible Children is an organization that has been working towards seeing an end to the longest running war in Africa taking place in Uganda. Starting last Saturday thousands of people in 9 countries and 100 cities came out to protest the war and to spread the word. It's not right that this is just one of MANY human right violations, but we can speak for those who don't have a voice and see an end to it. Once the war is over there will still be a lot of work to do, but the war has to end before the children and people of Northern Uganda can move forward.

It's crazy that Invisible Children was started by three friends at the age of 20! and now seven-ish years later look at what they've done. CRAZY! Our generation is looked to be apathetic.. but this doesn't have to be the case.

If you go to the Invisible Children website there is a live feed and surrently they're listening to Sufjan Stevens, earlier they were listening to TV on the Radio.. so props to them.

Anyway, sorry for my rant.. Oprah is about to come on.. this explains the song of the day. So the final city to be "rescued" was Chicago and it was rescued by Oprah. The word will for sure be out now. Here's how they got her attention:

Peter Bjorn and John is this Saturday at the 930 club!
