New Facebook Game Asks You To Solve Problems To Prevent "America 2049"

"America 2049 resonated with me because I love the idea of people fighting at all costs for their right to pursue the life they choose, without fear of persecution,” said Harold Perrineau. “I hope the game will inspire young people, especially, to help stop institutionalized hatred and intolerance — today."

Global human rights organization Breakthrough’s 12-week Facebook gaming event, America 2049, has entered its 4th week with over 11,000 players. The players are “networking for freedom” in which they explore how the choices we make today will shape our nation’s future.

The social media game features appearances by Harold Perrineau (Lost), Victor Garber (Alias), Cherry Jones (24), Anthony Rapp (Rent) and Margaret Cho (Notorious C.H.O.) Each celebrity generously donated their time and talents to help Breakthrough put a face on complex issues.

America 2049 players portray agents assigned by Jefferson Williams II (Garber) to capture fugitive Ken Asaba (Perrineau).
