Being an activist doesn't need to be difficult. Organizations provide tools to help start campaigns, hold events, and build networks.

United to End Genocide

United to End Genocide is building the largest activist organization in America dedicated to preventing and ending genocide and mass atrocities worldwide. Here's how we work:

We sound the alarm and demand action from government leaders, leveraging the power of our activist and survivor networks so that silence and ignorance do not strengthen and enable perpetrators of genocide or mass atrocities.

We follow the money, garnering the strength of investors and applying public pressure to shame and stop companies and governments that finance violence.

We connect and mobilize voices, building a powerful, sustainable and global network of genocide survivors, students, community activists, faith leaders, artists, investors and human rights champions committed to preventing mass atrocities and ending genocide once and for all.

What is Genocide?

— After the Holocaust, the United Nations created a new term — genocide — and defined it as any of the following actions committed with intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group:

Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group, or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

There can be no healing without peace; there can be no peace without justice; and there can be no justice without respect for human rights and rule of law.

— Kofi Annan, Former UN Secretary-General
