No Business With Genocide: Tell Congress to Help End Genocide

Across the world, authoritarian governments are extending their reach beyond their borders. They are stalking, threatening, and silencing people who fled to safety. From Uyghur activists in the United States harassed by Chinese security agents, to Russian, Iranian, and Burmese dissidents facing intimidation and surveillance, transnational repression has become a growing threat to human rights and democracy everywhere.

These regimes want to ensure that no one, anywhere, can speak freely about injustice. The United States must not become a safe haven for authoritarian intimidation.

1. Pass the Transnational Repression Policy Act (H.R. 4829 / S. 2525)

We are calling on Congress to pass the bipartisan Transnational Repression Policy Act. These bills would, for the first time, establish a coordinated U.S. government strategy to expose, deter, and hold accountable foreign governments that target diaspora and exile communities.They would strengthen protections for vulnerable communities, improve U.S. law-enforcement coordination, and ensure that perpetrators of transnational repression face consequences.

2. Stop the UAE from Fueling Genocide in Sudan

The United Arab Emirates is the primary backer of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are carrying out mass atrocities across the country, including in Darfur. Two bills now before Congress would block the sale or export of U.S. defense equipment to the UAE until the administration certifies that it is no longer providing material support to the RSF.

• S. 935 — introduced by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)

• H.R. 2059 — introduced by Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA)

Both bills would help cut off resources fueling atrocities and protect civilians in Sudan.

3. Support the Southern Mongolian Human Rights Policy Act (S. 288)

China’s government is intensifying repression in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region — eliminating Mongolian-language instruction, suppressing cultural identity, and punishing peaceful dissent. Mongolian communities have faced surveillance, arrests, land seizures, and forced assimilation.

The bipartisan Southern Mongolian Human Rights Policy Act, introduced by Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK), would direct the U.S. to impose targeted sanctions, support civil society, defend Mongolian-language education, and protect environmental and human rights defenders.

4. Stop Scams. Stop Slavery. Support H.R. 5490.

Criminal syndicates operating out of Myanmar are running massive online “pig-butchering” scams that defraud Americans of billions of dollars each year. These networks rely on tens of thousands of trafficked people forced to work in scam compounds — funding both the junta’s war crimes and financial devastation around the world.

The Dismantle Foreign Scam Syndicates Act (H.R. 5490)would create a federal task force to dismantle these networks, sanction regimes that shelter them, and protect American consumers from predatory fraud.

5. Pass the Uyghur Policy Act of 2025 (H.R. 2635 / S. 1542)

Since 2017, more than one million Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities have been arbitrarily detained, surveilled, and forced into labor across Xinjiang. The Uyghur Policy Act would coordinate U.S. efforts to defend Uyghur rights, counter China’s transnational repression, and protect Uyghur communities abroad from intimidation.

As our colleague Julie Millsap noted in The Hill, with current disruptions at the State Department, congressional leadership is essential.

6. Tell Your U.S. Representative to Join the Congressional Armenian Caucus

In 2023, Azerbaijan’s assault on Artsakh followed a nine-month blockade that caused mass hunger and suffering. Almost the entire population of 120,000 Armenians was forced to flee their homes.

The bipartisan Congressional Armenian Caucus, established in 1995, works to strengthen U.S.–Armenia relations, support the rights of Armenians in Artsakh, and advance justice for the Armenian Genocide.

Together, We Can End Atrocities

Thanks to your advocacy, we are making meaningful progress to confront genocide, mass atrocities, and authoritarian oppression — from El Fasher to Inner Mongolia, from Burma to Artsakh, and now in defending diaspora communities from transnational repression.

Thank you for standing with humanity, justice, and those who courageously speak truth to power.

In solidarity,
