The Global Night Commute is a worldwide event organized by the Invisible Children organization. The Night Commute takes place tomorrow, Saturday April 29th, with people all around the world converging on urban event centers in solidarity with displaced Ugandan children attempting to avoid capture by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), as is prominently displayed in the film “Invisible Children”.
The Global Night Commute will involve the trek of thousands of men, women and children from around the world into major cities where they will mimic the nightly commute of the Ugandan children by marching en masse from one point to another and sleeping at their final destination for the entire night.
In Chicago, so far, 1,377 people are committed to make a difference and will assemble in Grant Park for the night.
If you’re looking for a group to walk with, there is a group made up of Salvation Army and Olivet Nazarene people meeting at 6:45 on the steps of the Art Institute. From there, they will walk to Grant Park where the GNC is being held.
