As much as we wish is wasn’t so, genocides are happening all around us. In Myanmar, the Rohingya are being persecuted. In China, the Uyghurs are being forced into slave labor camps and subjected to horrors and death. The Sudan civil war has escalated to genocide. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the killings continue. Armenians who had lived peacefully in Azerbaijan for generations have been forced out and their coummunities erased. We need your help to stop these atrocties.
We don’t rely on corporations or wealthy donors.
We rely on people who refuse to be silent in the face of genocide and mass atrocities.
A small donation today helps No Business With Genocide keep pressure on Congress through letters, calls, rapid-response campaigns, and sustained advocacy for accountability and civilian protection.
Genocide doesn’t stop on its own. Silence enables impunity. Pressure works — but only if we sustain it.
When thousands of people give a little, lawmakers are forced to listen. If you can spare the cost of one coffee today, you help turn outrage into action.
Thank you for standing with us.
