According to AP, in one video posted last month that garnered over 56,000 views, a military supporter called for violence … Read more
The Myanmar military is building up troops and equipment in Chin State and neighboring areas in North-Western Burma.

Myanmar produces more than 90% of the world’s rubies and jade, and these stones command the highest prices on the international market.

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.

👉 Most supporters give $5 or $10.
A monthly $5 donation helps ensure we can respond quickly — not weeks later — when atrocities escalate or Congress is poised to act.
Small, steady support is what keeps movements alive.
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.
