Silence is Not an Option: Advocacy and Action (Genocide in the 21st Century: The Uyghur Crisis)

Dissidents and Dictators

With millions being arbitrarily detained and imprisoned in labor camps in the Xinjiang region of China simply for speaking a different language and practicing a different culture, Silence Is Not An Option. Sit down with our panelists for a chance to listen to three individually unique stories all with the same end goal, to free their family, friends, and neighbors from the regime's tight grasp. Whether working as a journalist, teacher, researcher, or advocate these amazing activists go in-depth into their personal experiences and the prosecution they've undergone, as well as share how we can all do our part to end the Uyghur Genocide taking place in Xinjiang.
