Together We Are Free
On April 15, 2009, thousands gathered around the world to abduct themselves for the abducted at a 100-city, ten-country awareness event: The Rescue. The goal: To demand attention for the plight of children abducted and forced to fight as soldiers in the LRA by getting political and cultural figures to make a public statement on behalf of these child soldiers. In 99 of the 100 cities worldwide, a "Rescuer" answered their call. But for six days, more than 500 participants held strong in the final city- Chicago- awaiting a "Rescuer" of their own. Reinforcements from across the country, known as "Rescue Riders," assembled upon the city to increase the group's visibility. Their final stand was a daring effort, as these youth asked one of the world's most powerful people to add their influence to the crisis. This is the story of those brave and dedicated individuals.
