Liana Katherman: The True Hollywood Story (this will make sense one day)
Someone had to drop that slinky in MOVE and leave it to Liana Katherman to be the one to do it (she’s a go-getter, that one). Whether you know her or not, which you probably do (she knows the world), one thing to note about Liana’s journey is her commitment to work toward social justice. Given her work as […]
Supporter Spotlight // A boy and his bike
You’ll never know which lives you influence, or when, or why but you’re always able to remember those individuals who influenced you. The success of Invisible Children is a result of hundreds of staff, supporters, interns, and Roadies that have walked through our doors and, together, built this unique community. Alex Guest walked through our […]

Hannah Moody // We are the Fourth Estate
Like many supporters, Hannah Moody was first introduced to Invisible Children through our original documentary The Rough Cut when she was a teenager.

We are the Fourth Estate
This generation is changing the rules. The traditional routes of communication, influence, and authority have been reversed, and our connectedness has turned the power pyramid upside down. Invisible Children firmly believes that with the ability to see one another comes the responsibility to protect one other. The Liberty Triangle was inspired by the three-layer pyramid that illustrates […]
On behalf of the youth

A few days before that, they accompanied our CEO Ben Keesey and assisted him in handing over the 3,729,816 signed pledges. Maya and Marcelo represented the millions of young activists that committed their support to see the end […]
The delivery of 3,729,816 pledges
