On April 25th, the international community will unite to deliver the innocent from Kony's reign and ensure he is brought to justice. Thousands of participants will gather in 100 cities across the world to symbolically abduct themselves and raise the banner of the child soldiers taken by Joseph Kony.
If you decide to participate, your abduction will begin on April 25th at 3pm. When you leave your home and meet at a designated “abduction site”. You will drop off one of your family photos at the abduction site, symbolically leaving them behind . Then you will march as a group, on foot, to the event location called the “LRA Camp” while carrying any supplies you will need for the night on your backs. This march will range from 1-3 miles (2 – 5km) depending on the city, and will be done in a single file line with all participants holding onto a rope.
Invisible Children will arrange for photographers and videographers to film this symbolic march. (If for any reason you are physically unable to make this walk, please meet us around 4pm at the LRA camp location itself.) Once you’ve arrived at the LRA Camp, you will set up your “camp” and then wait to be “rescued”. A “successful” rescue requires two things. First, an approved media outlet from your area must show up and cover the event. Second, you and your city must arrange for the attendance of at least one pre-determined cultural or political leader. We are calling this person the “mogul” or “rescuer.” (See your city website below for the list of rescuers)
At the event, participants will write letters, create art/photo projects and seek out media attention in an effort to petition the US, European, Canadian, Mexican and Australian government to develop a strategy and support existing efforts to rescue Kony's child soldiers.
