Invisible Children has been one of the more famous social justice organizations over the last few years. They made a movie about the plight of child soldiers in Uganda which turned into a global movement. Most recently, they were in the news for winning Chase Community Bank’s $1 million prize for a nonprofit. We recently talked to Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell about what the million dollars will help with and how social justice can be more than a T-shirt trend.

The gash across the face of Emmanuel Mahuro, a 17-year-old Rwandan native, is no longer an open wound. Today, like a jagged boundary line on a map, a scar juts down the plateau of his forehead, across the bridge of his nose, and up the slope of his right cheek. It is impossible to look into Emmanuel’s eyes without seeing this deep cut, a mark of division etched across his face—and the face of Rwanda—15 years after the genocide.
