Invisible Children is a film about the horrors the youth in Uganda face every single day. The film documents the untold war in Uganda, and the implications for the people there, with a focus on the youth. This "rough cut" version of the film is being shown in schools, churches, and film houses across the country. A feature length version is scheduled for nationwide distribution at the end of the year. Through the film, the film tour (which currently has 7 RVs full of young people touring the country and speaking at viewings), and a bracelet campaign (the bracelets are made by the people of Uganda themselves), the non-profit aims to raise $20 million to house, educate, and protect tens of thousands of youth in Uganda. This is direct action.
The viewing is FREE, and if you are moved by it there are DVDs of the "rough cut," bracelets made by the Ugandan people, and t-shirts which you can purchase to help Invisible Children raise funds towards their goals.

David Korten's classic bestseller, When Corporations Rule the World, was one of the first books to articulate the destructive and oppressive nature of the global corporate economy. Ten years later, The Great Turning makes the case that we humans are a choicemaking species that at this defining moment face both the opportunity and the imperative to choose our future as a conscious collective act. We can turn a potentially terminal crisis into an epic opportunity to bring forth a new era of Earth Community grounded in the life-affirming cultural values shared by most all the world's people and eloquently articulated in the Earth Charter. We humans live by stories. We are held captive to the ways of Empire by a cultural trance of our own creation maintained by stories that deny the higher possibilities of our nature. Changing our future begins with changing our stories.
