Invisible Children Nashville!

On April 25th, Invisible Children is hosting it's 4th National Event called '25'. But it's going to be different than the rest of its past events. There will be thousands around the world participating, but participating by being SILENT, using our voices (by not using them) to speak out against Joseph Kony's 25-year-long rebel war. (Click "Read More" for all the details)
You can join us on April 25th, wherever you are, in staying silent for 25 hours. Walk around, make people notice your silence and hand out cards, fliers, whatever you like, just do. not. speak. Together, we will put an end to 25 years of war. Sign up at:http://www2.invisiblechildren.com/25

BUT, we don't just want you to be silent alone. Which is why we've organized the 'Break the Silence' event in conjunction with 25.

Break the Silence is happening in 18 cities across the U.S and will mark the end of the Invisible Children community's 25 hours of silence for 25.

Break the Silence will unleash the voices of the thousands who are going silent and who have raised at least $25 to fund The Protection Plan - Invisible Children's work to protect innocent civilians from LRA violence.

I'll end this with two quick acronyms: RSVP ASAP. The Nashville event is going to be phenomenal and will fill up fast, so now that you've raised your money and committed to 25 hours of silence, get your name on this list (http://www2.invisiblechildren.com/25) so we can see you at Allen Arena on April 25th, rocking out to some amazing music and participating in the premiere of some of IC's newest media.
