The Genocide Action Project (Gen-Act; formerly Yale STAND) is an undergraduate student organization at Yale University dedicated to ending and preventing genocide and related conflicts around the world.  Like many other STAND groups at high schools and colleges around the country, they are a part of the growing movement to establish a permanent coalition against genocide.  Gen-Act strives to assist those suffering as a result of ongoing conflicts and to pursue political and social policies that prevent them from occurring in the first place.
