Sophomore journalism major Kezhal Shah-Hosseini wanted to support Invisible Children's Cover the Night event by bringing it to the TCU community.

“In order to help the Ugandan children, and other African children affected by Joseph Kony, it is crucial that everyone come together to make a difference and to help change the lives of those children and their families,” Shah-Hosseini said.

A 30-minute YouTube video, KONY 2012, has over 75 million views and was created by the non-profit organization Invisible Children Inc.

KONY 2012 brings attention to issues caused by the Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony and the rebel group Lord’s Resistance Army.

Cities are hosting the Cover the Night event where citizens will plaster the streets and buildings with Kony posters in order to make the warlord well-known.

The Invisible Children’s website declares that the organization “uses film, creativity and social action to end the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony’s rebel war and restore LRA-affected communities in Central Africa to peace and prosperity.”

TCU students organized the event on Facebook for the Fort Worth community. Cover the Night in Fort Worth will take place at 6:30 p.m. on April 20.

While some students helped the KONY 2012 video go viral by posting it on Facebook and Twitter, one student said it will take more than a 30-minute video or ID tagged bracelet to assist the cause.

Freshman economics major Wesley Lacson said in an email that the support and money need to go to the right place.

“If we can show solidarity with the Acholi people and with the other countries and governments in the region who have opposed this type of medieval barbarism through our money, time, and legislative choices, we can come a lot closer to stopping Kony,” Lacson said.
