Here’s the deal. The Invisible Children Music team is comprised of Hannah Steele, Kenny Laubbacher, Alex Naser-Hall, Alex Collins, and Lauren Edwards. Apart from Alex Collins, we are all single. Today is a reminder of this fact. February 14th, in addition to being a gross commercialization and commodification of the fabrication that is “love,” is, […]

On days like Valentine’s, when people are more inclined to do a bit more than usual for those around them, it’s easy to fall into the usual routine of treating someone to dinner or baking them cookies. Not that it’s wrong to do so (I love me some frosted sugar cookies) – we just like […]

Last week became very official when we welcomed new members to our Board of Directors (aha, Charity Navigator!) during the first meeting of 2013. We had a lovely lunch, some casual getting-to-know-you-non-romantic speed dating, and fruitful meetings of the minds. It went well. Meet our newly renovated Board of Directors: Darren Hardy // Publisher and […]

I love politics almost as much as I love technology but I’d be naive if I said either were perfect.

Patience, a guest speaker at the Legacy Scholarship Program (LSP) students and parent/guardian gathering was […]

Our Art & Film team watches a lot of documentaries to learn technique and get inspired. They recently traveled to Park City, Utah to attend the Sundance Film Festival and designed the below infographics and video to let everyone know which films were their favorites. Creative shenanigans at their finest. Photos of our team at the […]

We all get a little scared sometimes. Six-year-old Asa Baker-Rouse understands that. His solution? Think of something until “the nervous has gone out of you.” When filmmaker and soon-to-be college graduate Bianca Giaever asked this creative six-year-old what she should make a movie about, he told her the story of of a bear, a mouse, a […]

Making a big statement with very little is kind of a mantra around here, so when we saw what South Korean artist Jeongmoon Choi creates only using thread and metal frames, we could only be supportive and amazed. Using UV lights to amplify colored thread and weaving it into specific designs, the neon-colored string creates interactive […]

[Invisible Children Music: We firmly believe that music has a necessary role in giving social movements tremendous amounts of momentum. It is a universal language, and at Invisible Children, it’s important for us to be a part of that language.] No introduction needed on this one. These are the eight songs we are feeling the […]
