The Global Night Commute is a worldwide event organized by the makers of the film Invisible Children through the organization Invisible Children Inc. The Global Night Commute will take place on April 29, 2006. Youths from around the world will be walking to city centers to show support for Ugandan children who walk every night into city centers attempting to avoid capture by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).

These children, between the ages of 3 and 17, from Acholiland in Northern Uganda, are referred to as "night commuters". They walk up to 20 km (12 mi) from internally displaced person camps to larger towns, notably Gulu, in search of safety from the LRA.

The Global Night Commute is similar to other initiatives raising awareness about the plight of the children in Acholiland like the Gulu Walk in Toronto, Canada; however, the the Global Night Commute will take place on a much larger scale. Over 38,000 people have signed up to participate in the event and it is scheduled to take place in 130 cities. [1] The goal of the movement is to raise awareness and ultimately end Africa's longest running conflict by facilitating a change in the policies of the United States government.
