The Musician Coalition

So this is really, really awesome. As a music education major, I am always excited to see music being used for things like this. It's so easy with music to get caught up in your own life and what you want. I love seeing musicians focusing on using their art to educate and raise awareness. That's what I love about the idea of music education, the thought that through music, people can be pulled into something so much bigger than themselves. Music can save lives. Such a cool thing, check it out.

If you leave out justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials 'for the sake of humanity', and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.

The Vice Guide to Congo

This is a five part video series talking about the Congo and some of the issues with conflict minerals. It isn't only the LRA that is causing fear in the lives of people in Congo. Even though Invisible Children is focused on stopping the LRA, I think it's important to realize that there are other issues that shouldn't be forgotten.

Frontline Tour

The IC NMSU club hosted the Deep South team last night for a screening of "Tony," a story about a young man from Northern Uganda. Aromorach Agnes also shared her personal story with us.

We cannot thank the roadies enough for all their hard work and sacrifice. We also want to extend a whole-hearted "thank you" to everyone who attended the screening and everyone who helped out.

Your smallest efforts can make an enormous difference.

Find out how you can join the movement this Thursday at 6:30 on the second floor of Corbett Center.

Beautiful People

This week, Invisible Children's Frontline Tour launched! We were lucky enough to host 11 of the 16 roadie teams as they passed through Las Cruces on the way to their various locations. That's 44 people. And every one of them was incredible. There was very little sleep and an overwhelming amount of love and friendship. It was an incredible experience for me. I've never wanted to instantaneously be best friends with so many people at once, especially while knowing that they would be leaving in a matter of hours. The passion I saw in everyone was astounding. They were exhausted, but they were excited. We were strangers, but we were already friends through our common desire to see the LRA stopped and peace in Central Africa. It was only a few hours that we got to spend with these people, but by the time they were leaving, I felt I had just substantially increased the size of my family.

These people are sacrificing so much to go out and work for what they believe in. They are amazing human beings. And what's really cool is we can support them from home! We can also fight for peace and see the LRA disarmed. Getting to meet the roadies was inspiring and encouraging. We're working for change, and we're seeing it happen.

So get involved! Be part of this. You won't regret it. Team Las Cruces is just getting started, and we want you to join us.
