invisible children is misleading
Raise awareness for the cause, not for the organization.
It would be smart not to donate through them.
last year they only actually used 30% of their profit for the cause, and a lot of it was just for campaigns to support the military..

Patrick 07-03-2012 08:05 PM

So, Peter Pan can gather a child army and that's fine. But when a black man does it....

There is already a number of jokes on sickipedia lol

Yeah, while it has at least increased awareness I wouldn't support Invisible Children and the way they're going about "Kony 2012", if you take a look at these two links

http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/
http://jezebel.com/5891269/think-twi...e-meme-du-jour

What is interesting to see though is how many people have rallied behind this, people who normally couldn't care less about anything political or about problems in Africa are suddenly posting statuses about it, sharing the video, saying they'll attend and so on, shows the power of Facebook I guess

Brother Leon 07-03-2012 08:18 PM

Hopefully these people rallying do the same for all the Child Soldiers in Africa.

CharlieO 07-03-2012 08:26 PM

That whole truth about invisible children thing is very eye opening. I don't support invisible children at all. All for peace and that but not when the private benefit of the whole organisation outweighs the social benefit.

LemonJam 07-03-2012 09:14 PM

awkward moment when you realise you're on the fence about the campaign and you're the thread creator.

Samuel. 07-03-2012 09:26 PM

Well, the raising awareness part is good regardless if the donation side of things is a bit questionable.

Jords 07-03-2012 09:31 PM

Woah just read that about Invisible Children. 30%? Thats damn right rude and taking advantage of our money.

Not going to donate now. I want a wristband though to help spread the word, might buy 1 off Amazon if any go on.

this

raising awareness is free, but paying that amount (which is quite a lot) when only so little goes to the cause is pointless imo

Ramsay 07-03-2012 09:33 PM

are they really allowed do that?

King Gizzard 07-03-2012 09:35 PM

That picture of them holding weapons like hard nuts pissed me off. I'm glad i've gotten to know about Kony, and the government might do something regardless now, but IC themselves...

It's just annoyed me that people couldn't of got this up in arms about ACTA - considering that affects us alot more than this.

But whatever.

unfortunately , yes. :(
It was worse when after the haiti earthquake, some organizations were only giving as little as 12% directly to haiti.
And the funds going directly to the haiti government got even more cut because the government only used a small portion of that to help all of their people :(

rk3388 07-03-2012 10:28 PM

But GOOD ON THEM for the awareness, and hopefully we'll stop kony.
