Eastern Congo is facing a violent insurgency from Rwanda and the Rwanda backed M23 militia. Over 7,000 people have already been killed just this year. Tomorrow evening, we're diving into the origins of this conflict and how we, the diaspora, can be a part of the solution. We have an amazing panel of Congolese leaders who are taking action in the diaspora and directly in Congo. @fmjosuel @africadiasporaconnection @_kingkasa Rsvp at africanow.org - The event has been moved to online via Zoom.

The Black Dialogue Series brings together young adults from across the African Diaspora to share, discuss, and build. This teach-in will dive into the crisis in Eastern Congo. This conflict is deeply rooted and did not just recently start, but since the latest insurgence of Rwanda-backed M23 rebels in January '25 over 7,000 Congolese people have been murdered. Thousands more have been injured and displaced. Come learn more, discuss solutions, and connect with other changemakers! Time: 6pm - 8pm PST Location: In-Person & Online For security reasons, the location and Zoom link will be shared upon RSVP. The event will be held in Seattle's Central District for those who plan to join us in person. (fb)
