We believe that the most important prevention work happens at the grassroots level and that true long-term human security is built over time through broad-based internal social and cultural commitments to justice.

Working with people around the world to promote genocide prevention, human security, restorative dialogue, mental health literacy, and peace-building education and training.

Informing the world about global grassroots efforts to end the cycle of genocide.

Promoting a shared global language of genocide prevention.
