The Hometown Shakedown

Currently, there are no upcoming Invisible Children events taking place at Trinity University. However, if you are looking for ways to help or donate in the future to the Invisible Children movement at Trinity you can contact Kimberly Pang or Shannon Baldwin. You could sign-up to help with Dorm Storms which is where one goes from dorm to dorm asking for donations for Invisible Children. Kim and Shannon are the heads of the Invisible Children organization for TUVAC at Trinity University and they are constantly looking for more volunteers.

In other news, the LRA Disarmament Bill passed its first big test yesterday. Now it’s one step closer to President Obama’s desk. Today, the “Hometown Shakedown” is taking place. Representatives of Invisible Children are visiting over 30 offices of congressional representatives to gain their support and co-sponsorship of the LRA Disarmament Bill. This is the closest Invisible Children has been to seeing legislation passed regarding Joseph Kony’s crimes.

If you want to help, follow this link: WeWantObama.com. Type in your zip code and find the information to call and email your local representatives asking them to support the Bill. Let your representative know how important this bill is to the Invisible Children movement. Find out how you can lend your voice in support of this bill, and tell your representative how much their assistance means to you.

MEND

Last Monday, the Invisible Children organization came to Trinity to show a documentary that summarized their cause. Basically, the documentary talked about Joseph Kony and the war in Northern Uganda. At the movie you were able to sign the petition I mentioned in a previous blog. The petition calls for Obama to sign a bill which will make Joseph Kony an international criminal. Anyone could buy merchandise, or a custom made bracelet to donate money to the Invisible Children organization. If you missed the documentary, all of this information can be found on the Invisible Children website. You can also find the petition on the Invisible Children website. Here is a direct link: http://www.invisiblechildren.com/obama.

Yesterday, Invisible Children introduced MEND, which is a revolutionary new handbag. The handbag tells the story of a courageous woman who knit each handbag on her own. Because of the unique production of the handbags only a few are produced each season. So if you would like to order one, you should act quickly. These handbags can be ordered from the store on the Invisible Children website.

Right now, I am not aware of any upcoming events at Trinity University. But as soon as I find out, I will post any information on this Blog.
