No Business With Genocide

What No Business With Genocide does

No Business With Genocide (NBWG) is a global grassroots advocacy coalition founded around 2020 whose stated mission is to end genocide and mass atrocities by cutting off the corporate and governmental funding that enables them. The organization operates as a branded campaign/project under the fiscal sponsorship of the International Campaign for the Rohingya (ICR), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Washington, DC (EIN 81-4234076), which provides legal, tax, and donation-processing infrastructure. NBWG serves an individual supporter base of approximately 500,000 people and runs simultaneous campaigns against corporate complicity in Myanmar (military junta), the Uyghur region, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia/Azerbaijan, transnational repression, and international religious freedom, while also lobbying the U.S. Congress for related sanctions and human-rights legislation.

NBWG does not sell or license a technology product; its "platform" is a digital advocacy stack composed of a self-hosted WordPress website for content and donations, the third-party ActionNetwork tool for petitions, pre-written letters to Congress, and email mobilization, and a social media presence (Twitter/X, Facebook). Notable attributable campaign outcomes include Kirin Holdings ending its Myanmar military partnerships, Volkswagen announcing a withdrawal from Xinjiang, and reduced payments from Chevron and Total to the Myanmar military following supporter pressure, alongside supporter-mobilization contributions to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, BRAVE Burma Act, Rohingya GAP Act, and House Uyghur Policy Act.

The revenue model is grassroots donations only. Suggested gift sizes range from $3 to $25, with most supporters giving $5 or $10, and monthly recurring donations of $5 are explicitly encouraged. NBWG does not accept corporate or large-donor funding. The organization is staffed by approximately 5 employees and is led by Executive Director Simon Billenness, who also serves as Executive Director of the fiscal agent ICR. Operating geographies are claimed as global with primary U.S. anchor, and Candid Platinum transparency status is publicly displayed.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Global Witness: Established international NGO investigating and campaigning against human rights and environmental abuses linked to corporate and financial activity. Larger incumbent pursuing a similar corporate-accountability angle to NBWG's funding-cuts framing.
• Human Rights Watch: One of the largest global human rights organizations, conducting research and advocacy on atrocities in Myanmar, China, Sudan, and elsewhere. Operates with vastly greater resources but overlaps substantially on the atrocity and sanctions policy terrain NBWG addresses.
• Amnesty International USA: Major membership-based human rights organization with grassroots activist mobilization in the US. Comparable grassroots-action architecture and overlapping atrocity and corporate-accountability campaigns, though at vastly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Fortify Rights: Human rights organization that combines documentation, advocacy, and grassroots campaigns to advance accountability for atrocities in Myanmar and Southeast Asia. Comparable mission and corporate-accountability orientation to NBWG.
• Uyghur American Association: Community-driven organization advocating for Uyghur human rights through US policy engagement. Overlaps with NBWG on Uyghur Policy Act advocacy and grassroots mobilization for congressional action.
• Free Rohingya Coalition: Global coalition of Rohingya diaspora and allied organizations advocating for Rohingya rights and international action. Closely aligned with NBWG on Rohingya advocacy and legislative engagement.
• International Campaign for the Rohingya: The fiscal agent and parent organization for NBWG. Operates as a 501(c)(3) focused on Rohingya rights and atrocity prevention, providing the legal and financial infrastructure under which NBWG campaigns are executed.
• Burma Campaign UK: UK-based advocacy organization running corporate accountability and sanctions campaigns targeting the Myanmar military, directly overlapping with NBWG's Myanmar portfolio including the Kirin and oil-and-gas company disengagement work.
• STOP Uyghur Genocide: Advocacy coalition campaigning for US recognition of the Uyghur genocide and corporate disengagement from Xinjiang. Directly comparable to NBWG on Uyghur-specific legislative and corporate accountability campaigns.

Emerging players

• Candlelight for Myanmar: Myanmar-focused advocacy organization pursuing sanctions and accountability against the Myanmar military. A smaller, more niche player comparable to NBWG's Myanmar-specific corporate and policy work.
