McPherson Square Metro (17th and Eye Streets, NW-- Orange/ Blue Line) and join us on our March to for Justice to Murrow Park, 18th and H St. NW, Washington DC.; across the street from World Bank headquarters



Under the guise of Development Aid the World Bank has invested millions in mining contracts with U.S. and European multinational corporations that operate in the DRCongo with impunity.

Mining in the DRC has fueled conflict, created massive environmental destruction and endangers the lives of Congolese workers and their communities.



The Congolese people and their international partners are saying No to the Illegal exploitation of their Country.
