This fall, WITNESS has partnered with STAND, student-led division of Genocide Intervention Network, to help its nearly 1,000 high-school and university chapters integrate video to support Pledge2Protect, a campaign focused on passing comprehensive genocide prevention legislation through Congress.
With Pledge On Camera, Hundreds of anti-genocide students from across the country are currently creating personalized videos for each U.S. Senator, which they will screen and hand-deliver in a few days on November 9th as part of the Pledge2Protect conference and the largest lobby day in genocide prevention history. This video is the core video that was added-to by STAND chapters across the country.
