The Rescue - Invisible Children Traveling to Unrescued Cities
by JONATHAN HARRIS, Managing Editor
Two days on, there are still several cities that have yet to be rescued as part of Invisible Children’s campaign to spread awareness about child soldiers in Uganda. The quest is for the abductees to be “rescued” in each city by a prominent “mogul”—a person of influence who commands media attention.
Los Angeles was rescued by actress Kristen Bell, New York by filmmaker Jon Turtletaub, San Francisco by former mayor Willie Brown and Atlanta by Jeff Foxworthy. In the interim, the Invisible Children Rescue Riders travel by bus to stand in solidarity with each city that has yet to be rescued, and ultimately, with the child soldiers who will still be held captive when all American demonstrations have ended.
Just a short time ago, Las Vegas was rescued by former Spice Girl Mel B, two days after the initial rally began, and after Rescue Riders from San Francisco and Los Angeles arrived.
Among the cities that still need to be rescued: Charleston, Richmond, Albuquerque, Chicago and Baltimore. These dedicated activists will remain abducted until someone can rescue them.
#TheRescue has continually been referenced on Twitter, with many calls for Oprah, Barack Obama and other prominent figures to acknowledge the protests. Even a televised proclamation from one of these moguls will suffice, as the ultimate goal of The Rescue is to bring this crises to the attention of our leaders, as it is the only way we can truly enable change.
