WE ARE DISCONTENT

Thanks again to everyone who came out and supported our benefit concert last weekend. We could not have done this without our four beautiful bands, all the volunteers, the art donors, KRUX, and all those who have supported us by attending screenings, buying bracelets, and coming out to the show.

In case you missed the event, here are a few pictures of what WE ARE DISCONTENT looked like.

If you missed this, don't think there's nothing left to do. We are still working hard to reach our $7500 fundraising goal by December 14.

Join us Thursday at 6:30 on the second floor of Corbett.

We are discontent. We are IC Team Las Cruces.

Promotion on Campus for WE ARE DISCONTENT

Today we were promoting our benefit concert, We Are Discontent. Plastic Apples came out to draw attention to us, and we had a lot of fun! Here are a few pictures from our day.

Sleeping At Last: Resolve

One of the many great partners with Invisible Children is Resolve. Resolve focuses on what the United States can do through politics to stop the LRA. It's a great site, I recommend you check it out here.

Resolve is partnered with a filmmaking team called Discover the Journey (DTJ). Resolve helped fund and coordinate a trip for DTJ to LRA affected areas last year. DTJ made a series of powerful videos, one of which was titled Be Resolved. Ryan O'Neal of the band Sleeping at Last composed the music for that video. He then went on to add lyrics, title the song "Resolve," and put it on the band's latest EP, September.

Again, another way that music is helping to end this conflict and stop the LRA. Also, Sleeping at Last is pretty great.
