The Power of Youth-Led Activism with End the Uyghur Genocide

“End the Uyghur Genocide” is a youth-led activism project started in 2021 by students in Arkansas .

Mission statement: Our mission is to spread awareness and bring attention to the genocide of Uyghur people. We plan on supporting several bills within Congress and urging them to prioritize this issue. We are passionate about giving voices to those who cannot speak out and will continue until the Uyghur people are given the security, freedom, and peace everyone is entitled to.
