Just learning about Western Sahara and sharing what you have learned is a major step forward – particularly since there are so many global actors who are attempting to literally wipe Western Sahara off the map. If you are ready to take a next step, here are some possibilities to help make a difference:

Petition

Sign the Nonviolence International petition to support the Sultana Khaya, Saharawi Human Rights Defender, and her sister.

Make Some Calls

Contact your Congressional Representative/s and Senators and urge them to support the self-determination of Saharawi people in Western Sahara.

Travel to Western Sahara

Why travel to Western Sahara, you ask? Because it’s AWESOME!

Western Sahara is full of sand and sun, waves and deserts, wildlife and fossils, fishing, and more. Western Sahara also boasts a rich cultural tapestry across coastal towns, Bedouin communities, and desert cities. And, because Western Sahara is the last colony remaining in Africa. Be a witness for peace and justice!
