The main request from local Congolese leaders is for others around the globe to build solidarity to help amplify their voices and build relationships with other justice advocates (climate, Indigenous, youth, human rights, artists and musicians). The global FREE CONGO movement is as important today as the Free South Africa movement was yesterday. Join us in the spirit of Lumumba as we stand in solidarity with the Congolese people in the pursuit of A free and liberated Congo and a Free and liberated Africa.

1. 1. Send Urgent Letter to Demand Tech & Auto Companies to Do the Right Thing
