Founding Story & Leadership

This movement was born out of rage. Out of grief. Out of the unbearable silence that followed every massacre, every mass rape, every body dumped in an unmarked grave. It began with survivors and members of the Congolese diaspora who had enough—enough of shouting into the void, enough of watching their people slaughtered while the world looked away. We came together to expose what the media won’t show and what world leaders hope to bury.

Our leadership is made up of human rights defenders, legal experts, journalists, trauma counselors, and grassroots organizers. Many of us have lost family. All of us have lost sleep. But we have not lost our will to fight.
