Genocide remains a worldwide problem from hell. People who can stand up and speak out must do it for those who cannot. At No Business with Genocide, we work to raise awareness of the issue, stop governments and companies from profiting from or funding genocide and other crimes against humanity, and empower people around the world to stand up to tyranny.
Over the past 12 months, our supporters have:
- Signed nearly 2,000 petitions to President Joe Biden to stop the sale of aviation fuel to the brutal Myanmar military;
- Written more than 4,600 letters to Congress supporting the Uyghur Human Rights Protection Act;
- Sent nearly 8,000 messages to Congress urging passage of the BURMA Act and/or for its inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act;
- Sent more than 5,100 messages to members of the House of Representatives to support H.R. 892 to bring unlawfully detained Paul Rusesabagina home after more than two years in prison.
- Attended dozens of meetings in person and on Zoom with members of Congress and their staffs to show support for the people of Myanmar who have lived under the oppressive military junta since February 1, 2021.
None of this happens without your help. Will you join us?
Each week, we make it easy for you to make your voice heard by your government or in corporate boardrooms. Your gift will build our grassroots movement to end the atrocities and the repression of the Burmese army. Your support will fund our campaigns to:
- lobby governments worldwide to impose sanctions on Burma’s generals and their business empire;
- put our consumer, shareholder, and media pressure on corporations to end their business partnerships with Burma’s army;
- organize students and faculty to press their campus to step up and join the movement to end genocide in Myanmar and throughout the world;
- promote “end genocide” bills in cities and states globally.
Will you join our movement?
Our supporters have stepped up in impressive numbers. Our email list of supporters has grown almost exponentially to over 640,000. This includes over 300,000 people inside Myanmar who can take our actions targeting corporations from the safety of their homes.
However, we face a gap between the money we’re raising and the money we need. We have ambitious plans to help support and organize our supporters given the massive increase in their numbers. That’s why we ask you now for your financial help.
When we liberated the camps after World War II, we made a promise to the world that we would never again sit idly by as people were slaughtered. We failed on that promise. As we have seen in Rwanda, Bosnia, Sudan and elsewhere before and in China, Myanmar, and elsewhere now, we have not lived up to our promises. We can do better. With your help, we will.
