We are a national organization in Canada advocating for improved human rights in North Korea. First, we advocate for legislative action on the issue. We are advocating for a Canadian solution to resettle vulnerable North Koreans in transit. We have testified 6 times on Parliament Hill, hosted meetings with over 200 federal policymakers, and given over 70 interviews on 25 news outlets.Second, we empower North Korean voices. Each year, we invite emerging North Korean leaders to participate in our 6-month program as "Pioneers." They have met with federal policymakers including the Prime Minister, testified before Parliament, and appeared in 12 interviews on national media. Third, we engage young Canadians to act. We have engaged 2,000 Canadian students in 10 years. We have active 9 university chapters across the country. Through our program, young Canadian leaders gain exposure to political and civic engagement for social change, and tools to become effective advocates.
