Answers

Before you get involved

Ask us something else

How much time do I need to give?

As little as ten minutes: signing a petition or sharing a verified message counts. Volunteers typically give two to four hours a month; chapter coordinators a little more.

Can Nigerians in the diaspora take part?

Absolutely. Many of our members live abroad. You can attend the People's Parliament online, volunteer remotely, fundraise, and support chapters at home.

Will getting involved expose me to political risk?

Everything we do is lawful, non-violent and non-partisan. We never ask members to break the law, and we never endorse candidates or parties.
