White Out All Over The Place Some Random Spills of Travel and Existence

Some of us have heard of “The Rescue”, an event that Invisible Children accomplished on April 25th, however, 9 days before the event Invisible Children added a very unconventional and impossible idea called “Rescue Riders”.It was an idea, that when first mentioned in our offices made people cry. They cried because of how ridiculous and impossible the idea came across and they weren’t tears of joy, but forecasts of the logistical tempest it would ensue.

The “Rescue Riders” idea stemmed from the “Freedom Riders” of the Civil Rights movement. The “Freedom Riders”, a caravan of buses that would travel from town to town and stop in the heart of racially discolored cities. The riders would get off the buses and be met by mobs of hate filled individuals that wanted nothing more than to inflict pain on their fellow man of a different race. Many were hospitalized, some almost killed, but they pushed on because they believed…they believed in a better world where the color of your skin would not provoked injustice against a fellow man. Their fight was impossible. Their peaceful demonstration was mocked and hated against, but they endured hardships that some of us can’t even begin to imagine and now together we’re free.
