Welcome to Congo Action Now!

Become allies in the growing international movement for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo! Support our Congolese sisters and brothers in bringing an end to this devastating war that is being fought on the bodies of women and children!

CAN brings together activists from Massachusetts and New Hampshire working to create peace and justice in the DRC with a focus on ending violence against women.

Congo Action Now is working hard for passage of the Massachusetts Congo Conflict Minerals Bill that we proposed in the summer of 2011. For more information on H3982 An Act Relative to Congo Conflict Minerals and how you can get involved, please click on “Take Action”. Who is supporting the bill?

Read the Cambridge City Council Resolution that was proposed by Congo Action Now and passed October 5, 2009.

CAN partners with U.S.-Congolese for Peace, Unity, and Development, with the Shalupe Foundation, and with Villages Cobayes (VICO) in Bukava, South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. CAN is a project of the Boston Branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. For more information about WILPF’s peace and justice work, visit www.boston.wilpf.org.
