What we do
We believe that the only way to end genocide forever is to build a permanent anti-genocide constituency that holds leaders accountable for taking action to stop genocide. We are the anti-genocide generation.
Every day, STAND chapters are started by students at schools around the world. As the key actors in the fight to build political will for ending genocide, students in STAND chapters organize and educate their peers and communities, advocate to their elected officials for substantial legislative action, divest their schools, cities, and states, and fundraise for civilian protection.

Testimonials
Person:John Prendergast, Co-Chair of the ENOUGH ProjectPlace:STAND National Conference 2007When I worked in the White House, every time we wanted to do something on an issue like Congo or Rwanda, we'd turn around and hope that citizens across the country were going to push our issue forward, but there was nothing but a big, big silence. So what we need, all over this country, is people who are willing to stand up and make noise whenever there is a situation that demands the United States attention and our action.
