People often ask me how I manage to stay strong and keep going on this difficult path of resistance. Here’s my answer. And what about you, how do you deal with fear and threats? Share your experiences. Maybe your words can help other fighters walking this not-so-easy path. ✌🏻 #WomenLifeFreedom

We are also profoundly grateful to Thor Halvorssen, President of the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), for his continuous and steadfast support, and to Max Reynolds, co-founder of the Reynolds Foundation, whose unwavering commitment to our cause was indispensable. Without them, our General Assembly could not have been possible.

The first-ever WLC Awards in Berlin marked a powerful close to our General Assembly, celebrating courageous and inspiring leaders from around the world. With six award categories, the evening highlighted extraordinary dedication to freedom and human rights. We extend our deep gratitude to David Graham, founder of Changing Idea and co-sponsor of the WLC Awards, for his invaluable support in making this milestone possible.

🗳️ Honduras is gearing up for its general election on Nov 30, 2025, amid growing concerns over the electoral process. The electoral system remains fragile: distrust in the National Electoral Council, institutional paralysis, and political violence threaten the legitimacy of the vote. The world must pay close attention. Read WLC Statement here: https://worldlibertycongress.org/honduras-electoral-process/

At the WLC, we know that real power belongs to the people. We stand with those who refuse to be silenced, with those behind bars for speaking truth to power, with every brave soul fighting for their freedom. Today, we are more united than ever. Stronger than ever. More determined than ever to confront dictators and defend human dignity—until every person, in every corner of the world, is free.

The World Liberty Congress is not just swearing in a new leadership — we are renewing a promise. This transition is more than an institutional step; we are recharging a global movement. As long as oppression exists, we will organize, resist, and build a freer world together — until liberty prevails. ✊🏽🌍 #unitedagainstdictators #togetherwearestronger
