Invisible Children
INVISIBLE CHILDREN | San Diego, CA
"Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army have been abducting, killing, and displacing civilians in East and central Africa since 1987. Invisible Children first encountered these atrocities in northern Uganda in 2003 when founders Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole met a boy named Jacob who feared for his life and a woman named Jolly who had a vision for a better future. Together, they promised Jacob that we would do whatever they could to stop Joseph Kony and the LRA."
Post their viral campaign, Kony 2012, I worked under the direction of Tyler Fordham and Heather Longerbeam, alongside designers, Chadwick Gantes & Steve Witmer at Invisible Children in San Diego, California. Together we collaborated the following projects.
The national tour brings Invisible Children films accompanied by American atctivists and Ugandan speakers to places around the country where Invisible Children’s “Roadies” talk about the LRA conflict in East and central Africa. This brochure was printed and placed on every seat (more than 100,000 copies) throughout the Fall 2012 tour. The national tour directly supports Invisible Children’s campaigns, programs, and mission as a whole.
"Invisible Children focuses exclusevely on the LRA confict through an integrated four-part model that addresses the problem in its entirety: immediate needs and long-term effects."
- On November 17th, Invisible Children hosted the largest event in its history. Thousands upon thousands of youth and adults rallied in Washington DC. World leaders have made promises about stopping the LRA, but the LRA is still attacking civilians and abducting children. We decided to show our world leaders that we haven’t forgotten about their promises by traveling to Washington, DC, and telling them ourselves, with the thought that if we could work together, persevere, and follow through–so could they.
