About the End Genocide Action Summit
The End Genocide Action Summit seeks to create an experience for participants that will empower them to become stronger leaders on their campuses and in their communities while demonstrating the strength of the movement to end genocide to policymakers on Capitol Hill. Hundreds of activists and experts will convene in Washington, D.C. around a common theme and purpose: creating a generation without genocide.
The three-day conference will feature the following components:
1. Workshops: Genocide Prevention, Activism, Sudan, Burma and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
2. Training: Training sessions on grassroots organizing, media outreach and social media techniques, advocacy, and other fundamental activist skills.
3. Panel Discussions: Panel discussions featuring world-renowned experts and policy makers. Invited speakers include Ambassador Susan Rice, Samantha Power, David Pressman, John Prendergast, Romeo Dallaire, Members of Congress and Presidential administration officials.
4. Networking Events: Regional activist networking events where participants can share best practices and exchange ideas.
5. Lobby Day: Concluding the conference, the largest lobby day in the history of genocide prevention legislation on October 24th.
