Americans are closing their eyes to open the worlds? to an unseen war.

By lying down, we are joining the invisible children in northern Uganda, and demanding that our government put an end to the longest running war in africa, and one of the worst crises in the world today.

FACTS:

* Northern Uganda called the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today because of the lack of attention
* 1.7 million people forcibly displaced
* AN estimated 20- 50,000 children abducted to fight as soldiers
