Dr. No, Please Say Yes! :: Join the Invisible Children Oklahoma Campaign ASAP

This is an open call to US Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) asking him to meet with Invisible Children in Oklahoma City this February to re-consider his hold on the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act.

Coburn Say Yes from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.



How You Can Help:

* Sign the petition addressed to Senator Coburn here.

* Join the Facebook group here and help spread the word.

* If you can make it to OK on Friday, February 26th, then join this event "OK Says Yes" -

We are gathering at the Oklahoma State Capitol Building, where we will hear from a handful of speakers including Papito Francis, a young man from northern Uganda whose life have been severely affected by LRA violence and who is featured in Invisible Children's documentary GO!

From the State Capitol Building, we will march 2 miles to Senator Coburn's Oklahoma City office downtown and hand-deliver all of our letters.

From that point on, we wait. For the few crazy and brave individuals willing to hold out, we will wait at Senator Coburn's OKC office until he removes his hold on the bill. Yes, that may take days. Yes, it will be cold. And yes, this is crazy. But we believe sincere commitent and sacrifice of comfort is the strongest way to tell our leaders that this crisis is unacceptable. So join us if you are willing.

This event is for Oklahomans and non-Oklahomans alike. If you are willing to make the trek - and if you are willing to hold strong with us - we are honored to have you join us.



This film will be screening at the Invisible Children's Legacy Tour Oklahoma tour stops. If you live outside of OK, then check the tour dates for your state here.
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?
