On April 25th, 2009, thousands of people in hundreds of cities around the world are going to abduct themselves from their homes to represent the thousands of children that were abducted by the LRA, Lord's Resistance Army, in Northern Uganda. We are going to be meeting at an "Abduction site" and then walk 1-3 miles depending on the city, in a single file line. This will represent the children walking to the "Bush" or "LRA Camp," this too is where we will be going. We aren't going to be leaving the "LRA Camp" until we get enough media attention, and someone of mass cultural influence comes and "Rescues" us. This event is called "The Rescue"
Joseph Kony, the Rebel Army leader is in charge of the causing the longest running war in Africa. He has masecred so many people, and has abducted over 30,000 children into his rebel army. These children are forced to kill, and abduct other children into the LRA, at a very young age. These kids face danger around every corner. If they are seen crying in the "Bush" they will be killed. They are multilated and murded in front of the other children to teach them a lesson that if they were to do what the ones that got hurt did, that it would happen to them.
