Genocide Relief, Awareness, and Community Education (GRACE)

The Genocide Relief, Awareness, and Community Education (GRACE) Organization is committed to preventing, addressing, and seeking justice for all forms of mass atrocities targeting ethnic and religious groups. In a world desensitized by digital media, GRACE attempts to combat the widespread ignorance of genocides by organizing events featuring speakers, survivors, and experts to share their stories and educate UCLA students. Each month, the organization will focus on a specific genocide, dedicating the month to lectures and presentations that explore the culture of the affected group, the nature of the genocide, and the pursuit of justice. Additionally, GRACE will promote donation efforts, educational resources, and petitions. While we recognize that such initiatives cannot resolve the larger issues at play, fostering a passionate student-led community is a crucial step that GRACE undertakes toward addressing the inaction perpetuating genocides worldwide.
